Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deformation refers to the process by which rocks are changed in shape, often as a result of tectonic forces. This can involve bending, breaking, or flowing, all of which can occur during mountain building. Orogeny (choice B) specifically refers to the process of mountain building, but does not encompass all forms of rock deformation. Lengthening (choice C) and stress (choice D) are both factors that can contribute to deformation, but they are not comprehensive descriptions of the process itself.
