Rock Stress

What happened to the rocks under shear stress?

• The rocks are squeezed.

• The rocks fold or fracture.

• The rocks are pulled apart.

• The rock walls slip to each other on opposite direction.

Rock undergoes changes when it is stressed. How does the rock behave when a tension stress acted on it?

• It is pulled apart or lengthen.

• It is compressed.

• It formed fold or fracture.

• It is deformed.

Mountains are result of high-impact stress caused when two plates collided. What kind of stress caused it to form?

• Compressional stress

• confining stress

• Shear stress

• Tensional stress

Which of the following type of stress is exerted in convergent plate boundaries?

• Compressional stress

• Direct stress

• Shear stress

• Tensional stress
