Type of stress that causes folding mountains?
Folding is caused by compressional stress.
What type of stress in the crust results in the formation of folding mountains?
Plate collisions.
What stress causes rocks to pull apart?
The type of stress that causes rocks to pull apart is a tension stress. It is the major type of stress found in divergent plate boundaries.
What type of stress did the 1902 san francisco earthquake have?
The great San Francisco earthquake happened in 1906 and not in 1902. The type of stress was a strike-slip stress.
What is the dominant type of stress associated with folded mountains?
Answer: Compressional stress.
Which type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer have been folded?
Folding is usually the result of compressional stress. This may also cause thrust / reverse faults.

Which type of fault is likely to form in area where rock layer have been folded?
Folding is usually the result of compressional stress. This may also cause thrust / reverse faults.
What type of stress in the crust results in the formation of folding mountains?
Plate collisions.
What type of plate stress twists a rock?
Usually occurs at plate boundary collision areas.
What type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer has been folded?
Probably reverse fault because folding is the result of compressional stres and reverse faults are caused by compression
The neural tube of vertebrates develops during morphogenesis of the nervous system by the?
This occurs as a result of the folding of ectoderm tissue. The ectoderm is a type of germ cell layer present in a young embryo.
What does the contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle usually result in?
type of contraction of gastrocnemius muscle?
Is the letter K symmetrical?
No, the letter K is not symmetrical. It has a vertical line down the middle that divides it into two unequal parts.
Folding Treadmill?
form_title= Folding Treadmill form_header= Save space with a folding treadmill. What type of features do you want on your treadmill?*= _ [50] Are you training for anything specific?*= () Yes () No DO you want to purchase accessories?*= () Yes () No
Which type of fault is the result of shearing?
Strike slip faults are formed as a result of shear stresses. However strictly speaking all faults are in a shear stress state as there is usually movement in differing directions along both sides of the fault however in the other cases, compressive or tensile stresses are the cause of the initial fault formation.
What type of stress is placed on fold?
Compressional Stress
