What is the definition for Compression?

• Stress that pushes masses of rock in opposite directions, in a sideways motion
• Stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks
• The process by which an earthquake’s violent movement suddenly turns loose soil into liquid mud
• Stress that stretches rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle

What is the definition for Shearing?

• An upward fold in rock formed by compression of Earth’s crust
• Stress that pushes masses of rock in opposite directions, in a sideways motion
• A type of seismic wave that moves the ground up and down or side to side
• A type of seismic wave that compresses and expands the ground

What is the definition for Stress?

• A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume
• A downward fold in rock formed by compression in Earth’s crust
• A type of seismic wave that forms when P waves and S waves reach Earth’s surface
• The measurement of an earthquake’s strength based on seismic waves and movement along faults
