    1) Compression at convergent plate boundaries, extension at divergent boundaries, and shearing at transform boundaries. 2) Elastic strain is temporary and returns to original state when stress is removed, while plastic strain is permanent. 3) Factors like mineral composition, grain size, presence of flaws, rate of stress application influence whether a rock deforms elastically, plastically, or fractures under stress.

    Assignment 6.1 – GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURES REVIEW QUESTIONS

    NAME: ____________________________

    Instructions: Answer the questions below completely in a short-size bondpaper

    1. What types of plate boundaries are most likely to contribute to (a) compression, (b)
    extension, and (c) shearing?

    2. Explain the difference between elastic strain and plastic strain.

    3. List some of the factors that influence whether a rock will deform (in either an elastic or
    plastic manner) or break when placed under stress.

    PAGE 1/2
    4. Label the types of folds in this diagram, and label any of the important features of the folds.

    5. Explain why fractures are common in volcanic rocks.

    6. What is the difference between a normal fault and a reverse fault, and under what
    circumstances would you expect these to form?

    7. What type of fault would you expect to see near to a transform plate boundary?
