1. Which point is deeper in the crust, A or B?
2. What is the mean stress at pointA?
3. What is the differential stress at point B?
4. What is the value of o3 at point A?
5. Is o3 at point A tensile or compressive? Why?
6. What is the orientation, relative to the principal axes, of the fractures that form at
point B?
7. Are these fractures at B shear or tensile fractures? Why?
8. If The pore fluid pressure a(A s increased until the rock hydraulically fractures,
show on the figure at top right the orientation of these fractures with the sense of
movement that they would undergo under the given stress.
9. Calculate the critical shear stress to induce onset of fractures at point B.
10. Calculate the normal stress at point A then compare it to the shear stress at point B.
