The document discusses the behavior of rocks under different types of stress, including tension, compression, and shear. It outlines how rocks can deform elastically, plastically, or fracture, and describes the geological structures that result from these stresses, such as folds and faults. Additionally, it highlights the significance of these stresses in geological events like earthquakes and landslides.

ROCK BEHAVIORS
UNDER STRESS

GROUP 11
OBJECTIVES:
1. Identify the different types of
stress on rocks;
2. explain the behavior of the rocks
under the different types of
stress; and
3. describe the different geologic
structures formed by rock stresses.
ROCKS
• Rock is a naturally
occurring substance that
is an aggregate of
different minerals that
had been fused together.
Each rock has a unique
Rocks and large masses undergo
deformation wherein it changes
their shape, location, size, tilt or
break due to squeezing or
shearing. When the rocks or plates
are pulled or pushed together,
stress may occur. Not only human
can experience stress, rocks also
experienced different kinds of
stress.
How do Rocks behave unde
different
types of stress?
STRESS
• The force per unit area on a
rock.
• It causes a material to change
shape, deformation or strain.
• It depends on the type of rock,
the surrounding temperature, and
pressure conditions.
Rocks' possible responses to stress:

Elastic deformation

• The rock returns


to its original
shape.
Rocks' possible responses to stress:

Plastic deformation

• The rock does not


return to its original
shape
Rocks' possible responses to stress:

Fracture

•The rock
breaks.

THREE TYPES OF
STRESS:
THREE TYPES OF
STRESS:
1. TENSIONAL STRESS
2. COMPRESSIO-nAL STRESS
3. SHEAR STRESS
COMPRESSIONAL STRESS

• Compressional stress causes


rocks to fold or fracture.
• It squeezes rocks together.
• Compression is the most
common type of stress in
convergent plate boundaries.
• Powerful earthquakes

CHILE:Nazca and South American


plates
JAPAN:Eurasian plate and
Philippine plates
TENSIONAL STRESS
• Also known as Extensional
stress
• Tensional stress causes rocks
to be pulled apart that result
to lengthening and break
apart.
• This type of stress can be
found at divergent plate
boundaries.
• Two tectonic plates are
tearing away from one
another.
Mid- Atlantic Ridge RIFTING IN EASTERN
AFRICA
SHEAR STRESS
• Shear stress happens when
forces slide pass each other in
opposite direction which
results to slippage and
translation.
• This is the most common
stress found in transform
plate boundaries.
• Causes minerals to split in a
formation known as cleavage.
GEOLOGIC
STRUCTURES:
GEOLOGIC
STRUCTURES:

• FOLDS
• FAULTS
1. folds

• Folds are formed when rocks


experienced compressive
stress and deformed
plastically.
• It causes bending of rocks.
Three types of folds:

• Monoclines
• Anticlines
• Synclines
Three types of folds:

Monoclines
• A simple bend in the
rock layers where the
oldest rocks are at the
bottom and the
youngest are at the
top.
Three types of folds:

Anticline
A fold that arches upward
where the oldest rocks are
found at the center of an
anticline. The youngest rocks
are covered over them at the
top of the structure.
Three types of folds:

Syncline
A fold that bends downward
which rocks are curved
down to a center.
2. FAULTS
• A rock under ample stress can crack,
or fracture. The fracture is called a
joint because there is a block of rock
left standing on either side of a
fracture line.
• The footwall is the rock that place
on top the fault, while the hanging
wall is below the fault.
Three CLASSIFICATION OF FAULTS:

• Normal Faults
• Reverse Faults
• Strike-slip
Faults
CLASSIFICATION OF FAULTS:

Normal Faults
• Are the most common faults at
divergent boundaries. In relation to
the footwall, it develops as the
hanging wall drops down.
• East African Rift is one of the
examples of this type of fault.
Normal Faults
CLASSIFICATION OF FAULTS:

Reverse Faults
• This type of fault is most common
at the convergent boundaries.
• It forms when the hanging wall
• moves up
It creates the world’s highest
mountain ranges such as
Himalayas Mountains and Rocky
Mountains.
Reverse Faults
CLASSIFICATION OF FAULTS:

Strike-slip
•
Faults
This type of faults formed when the
walls move sideways. It can be
either right lateral or left lateral. It
is mostly common on transform
• plate boundaries.
The most popular example of this
type is San Andreas Fault.
Strike-slip Faults
