|
||||
| show | Permanent deformation caused by strain when stress exceeds a certain value.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Fracure or system of fractures in Earth's crust that occcurs when stress is applied too quickly or stress is too great; can form as a result of horiontal compression, horizontal shear, or horizontal tension.
