| a general term that describes all changes in the initial shape and/or size of a rock body. You are watching: All changes in the original shape and/or size of a rock body are called | |
| Stress | A pressure per unit area acting on a solid. Can reason deformation. |
| Strain | The adjust in shape or volume the a human body of rock together a result of stress. |
| Anticline | A form of fold generally formed by upfolding of absent layers. |
| Syncline | The Downfolds or troughs in association v Anticlines. |
| Monocline | Large step choose folds in otherwise horizontal sedimentary strata. |
| Normal Fault | a fault in which the rock above the fault aircraft has moved down relative to the rock below. |
| Reverse Fault | a error in i m sorry the material above the fault aircraft moves up in relation to the product below. |
| Thrust fault | a turning back fault with a dip much less than 45 degrees, normally around 10 come 15 degrees. |
| Strike-slip Fault | a fault follow me which activity is horizontal and parallel come the trend of the fault. |
| Orogenesis | This is the repertoire of procedures that create a mountain belt. |
| Folded Mountain | Mountains that space primarily created by folding. |
| Fault-block Mountain | a mountain formed when huge blocks that crust are tilted, uplifted, or reduce between huge normal faults. |
| Graben | a valley formed by the bottom displacement of a fault-bounded block. |
| Horst | an elongated uplifted block of crust bounded by faults. |
| Accretionary Wedge | A huge wedge-shaped fixed of sediment that forms in a subduction zone. Here, sediment is scraped indigenous the subducting oceanic plate and also accreted to the overriding crustal block. |
| Accretion | Process the occurs once crustal fragments collide with and stay associated to a continent plate. |
| Terrane | A crustal block bounded by faults, whose geologic background is unique from the backgrounds of bordering crustal blocks. |
| Isostasy | The ide that Earths crust is floating in gravitational balance ~ above the material of the mantel. See more: Where Are All The Gargoyles In Fable 2, How Do You Shoot The Gargoyle In Fable 2 |
