Types of Stress

What are compression and tension?

• Types of plate boundaries

• Forms of stress

• Types of minerals

• Layers of rock

What happens to rock layers when stress is applied?

• They expand

• They dissolve

• They bend and may eventually break

• They become softer

What is compression?

• Stress that squeezes objects together

• Stress that stretches objects apart

• The creation of new rock layers

• The movement of rocks underwater

At which type of boundary does compression usually occur?

• Divergent boundary

• Convergent boundary

• Transform boundary

• Oceanic boundary

What happens when forces act to stretch an object?

• Torsion occurs

• Compression occurs

• Shearing occurs

• Tension occurs

Where does tension commonly occur?

• At a convergent boundary

• At a divergent boundary

• At a transform boundary

• At a fault line
