The bending and buckling of rocks under great force produces a fold a fault a rift a epicenter?
a fold
What is the stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks?
The force that squeezes a rock until it folds or breaks is called compression. When enough stress builds up in a rock, the rock can break, and create a fault.
Which type of fault is under compression?
Reverse and thrust faults are both under compressive stress.
A what fault has a shearing force?
strike slip
What fault has shearing force?
strike-slip
What type of stress force that produces a strike-slip fault is?
shearing
Which type of force produces strike-slip fault?
The force that produces a strike slip fault is a shearing force.
What force of deformation produces each fault?
Tensional force and compressional force.
What type of stress force produces faults?
compression
What is a shearing force?
Shear force is a load (pounds, or newtons) in plane of the object which produces shear stress ( pounds per sq inch, or Pascals). Shear force is related to shear stress as STRESS = FORCE/AREA
What stress causes a slip-strike fault?
The stress that causes strike-slip faults is produced by a shearing force and so is called shear stress.
Is it the stress that produces strain or strain produces stress?
A Force applied to an object will cause a displacement. Strain is effectively a measure of this displacement (change in length divided by original length). Stress is the Force applied divided by the area it is applied to. (eg. pounds per square inch) So, to answer the question, it is the applied Force that produces both stress and strain. Stress and strain are linked together by various material properties such as Poisson's ratio and Young's Modulus.
What causes the strain energy underneath a fault line within the crust of the earth?
There is NO SUCH THING as "strain energy"Strain is the response of a system to an applied stress. When a material is loaded with a force, it produces a stress, which then causes a material to deform. Engineering strain is defined as the amount of deformation in the direction of the applied force divided by the initial length of the material.Thus the energy is the FORCE - the stress.The stresses present in a fault system are caused by the convection currents in Earth's mantle (driven by the heat in Earth's core). Once the stress builds up to a point that exceeds the strength of the rocks comprising the fault system, the rock fractures and moves and this is the strain.
What is the science definition of stress force?
Shear force is a load (pounds, or newtons) in plane of the object which produces shear stress ( pounds per sq inch, or Pascals). Shear force is related to shear stress as STRESS = FORCE/AREA

a fold
Define direct shear stress?
Shear force is a load (pounds, or newtons) in plane of the object which produces shear stress ( pounds per sq inch, or Pascals). Shear force is related to shear stress as STRESS = FORCE/AREA
What are two definitions for stress?
Stress can refer to the body's response to external pressures or threats, leading to physical, emotional, or psychological strain. Stress can also be defined as a situation or event that disturbs a person's sense of well-being and triggers the body's fight-or-flight response.
