Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deformation refers to any change in the volume or shape of rocks. It can occur as a result of stress or strain, and can be caused by various factors including compression, tension, and shear stress. Additionally, deformation is a common process that occurs during mountain building, as the pressure and force from tectonic activity cause rocks to change shape and shift positions.
