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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tension The stress force called tension pulls on the crust, stretching rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle. The effect of tension on rock is somewhat like pulling apart a piece of warm bubble gum. Tension occurs where two plates are moving apart.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tensional stresses cause a rock to elongate, or pull apart. Shear stresses causes rocks to slip past each other.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tension Stress While compression forces the rocks and crust to collide and move together, tension forces the rocks to pull apart. Tension can happen in two ways. Two separate plates can move farther away from each other, or the ends of one plate can move in different directions.
