GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Stress-a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume. Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. Shearing, tension, and compression work over millions of years to change the shape and volume of rock. Shearing-the stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stress is the force applied to a rock and may cause deformation. The three main types of stress are typical of the three types of plate boundaries: compression at convergent boundaries, tension at divergent boundaries, and shear at transform boundaries. Where rocks deform plastically, they tend to fold.

Detailed explanation-3: -Shearing – stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Compression: Stress which causes rock to squeeze or push against other rock. 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. Fault: break in rock.

Detailed explanation-5: -a force that act on rock to change its shape or volume is called stress.
