GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Tension-the stress force that pulls the crust, stretching rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle. Compression-the stress force that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks. Deformation-any change in the volume or shape of Earth’s crust. Fault-a break in Earth’s crust where slabs of crust slip past each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tension: Stress which occurs when rock pulls apart or gets longer. Shear Stress: Stress which occurs when tectonic plates move past each other causing rock to twist or change shape.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tension forces operate horizontally but in opposite directions. The rock strata are split or fractured when intense tensional pressures are applied, resulting in the creation of cracks and fractures in the crust. Faulting is the upward or downward movement of rock along a crack from its initial position.

Detailed explanation-4: -1) tension This force pulls rocks apart and creates a normal fault.
