It refers to the force exerted over an area which causes a deformation in the Earth's crust.
Stress
Strain
It is a type of force which pushes the crust inwards
Tensional
Compressional
It refers to a type of stress which is usually seen in transform boundaries.
Tensional
Shear
It refers to the term which is used to describe the deformation resulted from the application of external force.
Stress
Strain
It is a type of crustal deformation formed by ductile strain.
Folds
Faults
It is a type of crustal deformation that were formed by brittle strain.
Folds
Faults
It refers to a strain that produces permanent folds in Earth's crust.
Ductile
Brittle
It is a type of fault that are produced by compressional forces which causes the hanging wall to move ip relative to the firewall.
Reverse
Strike and slip
It is a type of strain which enable deformed lands to go back to its original form.
Elastic
Ductile
It refers to the amount of energy that produces a permanent strain.
