Geological Processes and Deformation

The video tutorial covers the topic of deforming the Earth's crust, focusing on deformation, which is the change in rocks due to stress. It explains two major types of deformation: compression, where rocks are squeezed together, and tension, where rocks are pulled apart. The video also discusses folds, including anticlines and synclines, and faults, such as normal and reverse faults. Additionally, it covers the formation of different types of mountains, including folded, fault block, and volcanic mountains. Finally, the video explains the concepts of uplift and subsidence, which involve the rising and sinking of the Earth's crust.

What is the primary cause of deformation in rocks?
