Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A rubber band stretches under increasing tension until it reaches its yield point and then breaks. Describe the stress and strain behavior throughout this process, and what implications does this have for understanding geological materials?
💡 Hint: Use the terms yield point and fracture point in your explanation.
Question 2
If a fault accumulates stress over decades and reaches the yield point, what determines whether it will slip immediately following this point or may creep gradually?
💡 Hint: Consider the concepts of friction and fault mechanics.
