1: What is deformation? 2: What is stress? 3: When do rocks start to deform? How do they deform? 4: What is strain? 5: Is a change that results from elastic deformation permanent or reversible? 6: Name the four factors that can affect the deformation of rock. 7: What is the primary difference between brittle materials and ductile materials when stressed is applied to both? 8: What is ductile deformation? 9: How do rocks like granite with a strong internal molecular bond usually fail; by brittle fracture or ductile bending? 10: Does flow in rock occur suddenly or over long periods of time? 11: When rocks are squeezed, the stress is ________________________ . 12: When rocks are pulled opposite directions the stress is ___________. 13: ____________ stress causes a body of rock to become distorted. 14: What is isostosy? 15: According to the principal of isostosy; when weight is applied on the crust it sinks lower. What happens when the weight is removed? 16: What is the relationship between anticlines and synclines? (draw an example that identifies both) 17: What are monoclines? When do they occur? 18: Is the rock surface immediately above the fault the hanging wall or the footwall? 19: In a normal fault, does the hanging wall move downward or upward? 20: In a reverse fault, does the hanging wall move upward or downward? 21: What is the difference between a reverse fault and a thrust fault? 22: Where is the movement in relation to the line of fault in a strike-slip fault? 23: Name the four major types of mountains. 24: What is the difference between a mountain range and a mountain system? 25: How are folded mountains formed? By compressional stress or tensional stress? 26: What do we call multiple thrust faults that fold, one on top of each other? 27: Large scale normal faults are associated with what type of mountains? 28: In fault block mountains; one set of land rises while another set falls. Which parts rise and which parts fall; identify the grabens and the horsts
