Study Notes
Earth Science Module 5: Rock Behaviors Under Stress
- This module details how rocks react to different stress types (compression, tension, and shear).
- Three main types of stress are covered: compression, tension, and shear.
- Rocks can be deformed by various factors which will change its shape, size, and location.
- Convergent plate boundaries are associated with compressional stress resulting in rock folding or fracturing.
- Rocks are squeezed together at convergent plate boundaries, leading to mountain formation.
- Divergent plate boundaries experience tensional stress, which pulls rocks apart.
- Transform plate boundaries engage rocks with shear stress, creating sideways movement and fault lines.
- Faults are cracks or fractures in rocks, and are categorized based on movement - normal, reverse, and strike-slip.
- Normal faults occur at divergent boundaries when the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall.
- Reverse faults are common at convergent boundaries. These faults push one side up relative to the other.
- Strike-slip faults occur at transform boundaries, characterized by horizontal slippage.
- San Andreas Fault is an example of a strike-slip fault.
- Metamorphism involves changes in rocks due to heat and pressure, altering their physical and chemical properties.
