Answered 2 years ago
The deformation of rocks takes place through several stages. The first is usually the elastic deformation state. Practically what this means is, if the rock is deformed below a certain level (the brittle failure point or the point of plastic deformation), if the stress is released the rock will return to it's original shape with no sign of the deformation. The transition back to it's original state will be the elastic rebound.
