_____ describes the amount of force being applied.

• stress

• strain

• elasticity

• deformation

_____ is the change in volume, size, or shape that results from stress.

• stress

• strain

• elasticity

• deformation

Which one is NOT a way rocks respond to stress?

• elasticity

• deformation

• compression

• fracture

Some types of rock can be stretched and then they return to their original position once the stress has been removed. This is called

• stress

• strain

• elasticity

• deformation

Some rocks respond to stress by stretching or bending, but they stay in the new shape when stress is removed. This is called____

• stress

• strain

• elasticity

• deformation

Some rocks respond to stress by fracturing, or breaking into two or more pieces, this change is irreversible.
