Detailed explanation-1: -Tensional stress (or extensional stress), which stretches rock; Compressional stress, which squeezes rock; and. Shear stress, which result in slippage and translation. 29-Sept-2015
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three types of stress: tensional, compressional, and shear [1]. Tensional stress involves forces pulling in opposite directions, which results in strain that stretches and thins rock. Compressional stress involves forces pushing together, and the compressional strain shows up as rock folding and thickening.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are three types of stress: compression, tension, and shear. Stress can cause strain, if it is sufficient to overcome the strength of the object that is under stress. Strain is a change in shape or size resulting from applied forces (deformation).
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: -List the three types of differential stress. Describe these changes. Compressional, tensional, shear.
