What Type Of Stress Can Pull Rocks Apart? Rocks that are pulled apart are under tension. Rocks under tension lengthen or break apart. Tension is the major type of stress at divergent plate boundaries. When forces are parallel but moving in opposite directions, the stress is called shear (figure 2). What are the three types
Is The Bending Of Rock Layers Due To Stress? Rock may bend or break when different amounts of stress are applied. The process by which the shape of a rock changes in response to stress is called deformation. The bending of rock layers in response to stress is called folding. What are the 3 fault
What Is Stress That Pushes A Mass Of Rock In Two Opposite Directions Called? Shearing pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions. What type of stress force produces reverse faults? Reverse faults are produced by compressional stresses in which the maximum principal stress is horizontal and the minimum stress is vertical. What is
