the poin beneath earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and triggers an earthquake is called the
fracture
The force that squeezes a rock until it folds or breaks is called compression. When enough stress builds up in a rock, the rock can break, and create a fault.
The point beneath the earth's surface where an earthquake originates is called the hypocenter.
fre
It is the point at which rock under stress breaks and triggers an earthquake.
The squeezing together of rocks by stress is called compression. In scientific terms Compression is when a force called stress pushes rock/squeezes rock together until it folds or breaks.

Reverse fault
Breaks along mineral planes are referred to as cleavage planes (breaks along a plane) or conchodial fractures (no distinct break controls), depending on the mineral. more general breaks in rocks are referred to as fractures or joints and are often along fault planes or areas of stress in the rock. A crumbly rock texture is found in either an unconsolidated unlithified rock or a heavily chemically or mechanically weathered rock
no, reverse fault rock layers are placed under compressional stress.
The Solid Form of Water that breaks rock is called "ice".
The stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions is called tension. Shearing is the stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions.
Stress changes the shape or breaks (fractures) rocks whereas bending leads to folding
