Faults/Folds/Mountains

a force that acts on a rock to change it's shape over time

• tension

• deformation

• folding

• stress

stresses that squeeze rock until it folds and breaks

• stress

• tension

• compression

• deformation

stress that pulls rock until it becomes thinner in the middle or breaks

• stress

• tension

• compression

• folding

stress that pushes rock in opposite directions until it breaks

• folding

• stress

• shearing

• tension

the change in the shape of rock in response to stress
