Question
Are the following statements true or false? In the continental crust, earthquakes only occur at great depth, where the rocks are hotter and under a lot of pressure Folds are more likely to develop when rocks are deformed slowly Rocks that are colder are more likely to undergo brittle deformation Rocks that are under higher pressure are more likely to undergo plastic (ductile) deformation The faster a rock is being deformed, the more likely it will break 1. True 2. False
