Three types of stresses Types of Deformation ELASTIC DEFORMATION BRITTLE FAILURE PLASTIC DEFORMATION Elastic deformation deformation not permanent (minor amount of stress) Brittle stress amount exceeds the yield point or elastic limit Plastic (Ductile) deformation stress applied gradually to deep warm rocks Elastic Deformation Plastic Deformation Brittle Failure Folding at Converging Plate Boundaries Factors affecting rock deformation Intensity of Applied Stree Lithostatic Pressure Heat leads to stretching of rocks at near Earth’s surface without breaking at depth- plastic deformation Time Com
