Question

B5. Crystal lattices have defects and flaws and are affected by a variety of deformation mechanisms. Outline 1) the types of defects and mechanisms, 2) their role in determining rock strength and 3) how we might recognize them in the deformed rocks.

Step 1

Types of defects in crystal lattices: - Point defects: These are localized defects that occur at specific lattice sites. Examples include vacancies (missing atoms), interstitials (extra atoms), and impurities (foreign atoms). - Line defects: These defects occur Show more…
