Anticlines

Back

arch-like up fold where the limbs dip away from the hinge

compressional stress

Front

Syncline

Back

trough-like down fold where the limbs
dip toward the hinge

compressional stress

Front

mon·o·cline

Back

fold that features a simple bend in rock layers.

shearing stress

Front

compresional stress

Back

place when an object is squeezed amd Happens in the covergent plate boundaries

Front

tensional stress

Back

opposite ends of an object are pulled in
opposite directions.

divergent boundary

Front

Shear stress

Back

the surface of an object slides relative to
the other surface.

happens in the transform boundary

Front

Elastic deformation

Back

a material returns to its original shape after a strain is applied

Front

Plastic deformation

Back

objects
change shape without visibly breaking, creating folds
in rocks

Front

Brittle deformation

Back

material
cracks or fractures, creating joints or faults in rocks

Front

Strike slip

Back

horizontal and occurs
along the strike line of the fault
