What is the force that stretches or pull apart the crust called?
When there is a divergent boundary, regardless if the plates are ocean-ocean or continental-continental, tensional stress pulls on the crust. Rocks have weaker tensional strength than compressive strength, so they are easier to pull apart.
What happens to rocks when they undergo stress?
When the tension (stress) is great enough, they will fracture or deform.
What process can break rocks apart?
erosion can break rocks apart, weathering can also break rocks apart
What is tension stress?
Tensional stress is when two plates pull away from each other
What type of force pull two plates together?
tension acting on the plates
What occurs when tension forces pull rocks apart?
Normal Fault
What 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 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 does tension mean?
if you mean whene you give some one lots of tension <><><><><> Tension is stress, or voltage, to name just two. tension-is stress that streches or pull rocks apart
Is the forces that pulls rocks apart?
tension
Type of fault that may form when rocks are pulled apart due to tension?
Rocks being pulled apart are under tension. This is found at divergent plate boundaries. It is a tension fault.
When rocks pull apart what is that called?
Divergent Pull Ex.<--_-->
When tension forces pull apart what occur?
Normal Fault
How can plants pull rocks apart?
because they are the same lengh
Tension pulls rocks apart and creates this kind of fault?
This is known as a normal fault.
What does tension mean in design technology?
Tension is a type of stress put on a mechanical device/structure that's trying to pull it apart.
