Shearing, tension, and compression work over millions of years to change the shape and volume of rock. Those are types of stress.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the stress the earths crust?
The earth's crust is not stress
How do motions affect Earth's crust?
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
Three types of stress that occer in earths crust?
Compression Stress Tension Stress Shearing Stress
What causes stress earths crust?
The movement in earths plates create powerful forces that pull or squeeze the rock in the crust.
How does stress in the crust change earths crust?
it means earthquakes will happen more often
What type of stress causes the earths crust to become thinner?
Tension
How do floods affect the earths crust?
it gets soggy
How does stress change earths crust?
It causes it to deform - this deformation is called "strain".
What occurs when rocks layers bend due to stress in the Earths crust?
I found that folding happens
What process causes stress in Earths 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.
Do compression and tension affect the thickness of earth's crust?
Compression and tension can indeed affect the thickness of the Earth's crust. Compression can thicken the crust by folding and faulting, while tension can cause stretching and thinning of the crust through processes like rifting and faulting. These tectonic forces play a significant role in shaping the Earth's crust over geological time scales.
What is the size of the earths crust?
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
