The earth's crust is not stress
Stress forces squeeze or pull the rock in the Earth's crust.
Plate tectonics, the movement of the large pieces of the earth's crust, give rise to great stress along the boundaries of the plates. Wikipedia has a post on plate tectonics, and a link is provided.
Yes all metals are in the earths crust in ore form.
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
Yes, Compression can thicken the earths crust and tension can cause thinning in the earths crust.
Compression Stress Tension Stress Shearing Stress
The movement in earths plates create powerful forces that pull or squeeze the rock in the crust.
it means earthquakes will happen more often
Tension
Stress forces squeeze or pull the rock in the Earth's crust.
It causes it to deform - this deformation is called "strain".
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
I found that folding happens

The earths crust is a part of the outermost layer.
Silicon is a mixture of the minerals of the earths crust. so.... silicon isn't something from the earths crust. -thanks for your question.
It can be the cause of folding, faulting, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and rifts.
