What kind of stress occurs at a converging boundary?
Compressional stresses occur at convergent plate boundaries.
What are the stresses of the three different types of faults?
Compressional stresses (reverse or thrust fault) cause a rock to shorten. Tensional stresses (normal fault) cause a rock to elongate, or pull apart. Shear stresses (strike-slip or horizontal fault) causes rocks to slip past each other.
The major forces that form folded mountains are?
The major forces that form folded mountains are tectonic plate movements, specifically convergent boundaries where two plates collide. The immense compressional forces generated during this collision cause the Earth's crust to buckle and fold, leading to the formation of mountain ranges. Over millions of years, continued plate movements can further deform and uplift these folded mountains.
What types of forces or stresses produces folds in rocks?
Folds in rocks are mainly produced by compressional forces, such as when tectonic plates collide or when rocks are subjected to intense pressure from overlying materials. These forces cause the rocks to deform and bend, resulting in folds. Other factors like temperature, time, and rock composition can also affect the formation of folds in rocks.
Is a compressional wave mechanical or compressional?
compressional
Which type of stress caused the himalaya mountains to form?
Compressional Stress
What is the plural form of stress?
The plural of stress is stresses.
What is the plural of stress?
if it used as a verb, i think the plural of stress is "stresses" but if it used as a noun, i don't know if you can still add "-es" to it~
Is a compressional wave a sound wave?
Compressional!
What is found in a compressional wave?
A rarefaction is found in a compressional wave
What are compressional boundarys?
A compressional bounday is plate boundarys that are being compressed
What type of plate boundary causes shear stresses?
Shearing stress is one of three kinds of stresses. Compressional and tensional are the others. Shearing stress is associated with transform. The other two kinds of plate boundaries are convergent and divergent.
