Rocks permanently deform through either brittle deformation, which involves the rocks breaking or fracturing, or ductile deformation, where the rocks bend and flow without fracturing.
Rocks are classified into two main groups based on how they are formed: igneous rocks, which are formed from cooling and solidifying magma or lava, and sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments.
Compression in Earth science refers to the stress applied to rocks that causes them to deform by being squeezed or shortened. This can occur in response to tectonic forces, such as when two tectonic plates collide or when rocks are buried under a heavy load. Compression can lead to the folding, faulting, or fracturing of rocks.
When two crustal plates collide, they can form mountain ranges. The collision forces the crustal rocks to deform and buckle, leading to the creation of folded and uplifted mountain belts on the Earth's surface.
Shear stress pushes rocks in two different directions, causing them to slide or deform along parallel planes. This type of stress is common along fault lines where tectonic plates are moving past each other.

When it has holes and small rocks inside the rock
Yes, that is the idea.
Two ways to be able to identify a physical property are the color and the concistancy.
The two ways is through sounds that are aspirated and not.
Absorbs the chemical agent Physically removed the chemical agent. Smitty rocks.
As rocks undergo stress, two things that change are their shape and their volume. The rocks may deform and change their shape based on the type of stress applied, while their volume may also change as the rocks compress or expand under pressure.
