In rock subjected to heat and pressure, folding, faulting, and shearing may simply be called ______, but if mineralogical or rock texture changes take place, the process is called ______.

Answer :

AJEIGBEIBRAHEEMGO

Deformation is the process by which rock is subjected to stress conditions (e.g heat and pressure) that may result in folding or faulting of the rock,

But Metamorphism is the process by which existing rock texture changes to new mineral composition.

What is the Deformation of rocks?

Deformation is a term used to describe a process that alters the shape or size of a rock or region of the earth's crust. The type of deformation depends on the type of stress and the type of rock present in a particular region of the earth's crust.

  • Rocks are constantly exposed to forces that bend or fracture them within the Earth's crust.

However, Metamorphism is the process by which existing rock texture changes to new mineral composition.
