 What is
Deformation?
 DEFORMATION
‐ Deformation refers to any
change in the shape or size of
a rock as a response to stress.
‐ The Deformation may occur by
either folding of faulting

FOLDING
 FOLDING
‐ Folding in rocks occur when they are
subjected to tectonic forces from opposite
sides.
‐ Compressional causes squeezing,
tensional strss causes stretching and
shearing stress causes side to side
movement.
‐ Folding in rocks often results in the
5
apperance of physical folds called

 FAULTING
‐ Faulting is the result of fracture or
displacement of rock layer or
strata along a fault plane.

‐ If there is any movement on one

or both sides of fracture, it is
called fault 8
A fault shows a
displacement of the
two sides of a non
vertical fault: the
hanging wall and the
foot wall.

It shows vertical
movement of the
hanging wall and foot
wall.
