GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -These forces are called stress. In response to stress, the rocks of the earth undergo strain, also known as deformation. Strain is any change in volume or shape. There are four general types of stress. One type of stress is uniform, which means the force applies equally on all sides of a body of rock.

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: -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-4: -There are three types of stress: compression, tension, and shear.
