A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume

• stress
• fault
• syncline
• anticline

What is NOT a type of stress?

• tension
• compression
• shearing
• faulting

The stress force that pulls on the crust and thins rock in the middle is called...

• tension
• compression
• shearing
• faulting

The stress force that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks is called...

• tension
• compression
• shearing
• faulting

Stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions is called...

• tension
• compression
• shearing
• faulting

When enough stress builds up in rock, the rock breaks, creating a...

• tension
• break
• force
• fault

A fault that cuts through rock at an angle, so one block of rock sits over the fault, while the other block lies under the fault...

• Normal fault
• Reverse fault
• strike-slip fault
• shearing fault

This fault is the same structure as a normal fault, but the blocks move in the reverse direction.

• Normal fault
• Reverse fault
• strike-slip fault
• shearing

The rocks on either side of this fault slip past each other sideways, with little up or down motion.

• Normal fault
• Reverse fault
• strike-slip fault
• shearing

Over millions of years, the forces of plate movement can change a flat plain into features all EXCEPT...

• folded mountains
• fault-block mountains
• plateaus
• rivers
