Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Strain in rocks is expressed by folding or faulting, which are both types of deformation. Breaking and removal (A) is a result of weathering and erosion, not strain. Bending (C) is a type of deformation but is not exclusively related to strain in rocks. Metamorphism (D) is a process where existing rocks are changed due to heat and pressure, but it is not directly related to strain.
