The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes a what?
The force that occurs at divergent boundaries is a convection force. This force allows material to rise to the base of the lithosphere beneath each divergent plate boundary.
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 forces are acting on a hanging pen?
When a pen is hanging, two forces act on it - the upthrust and the force of tension in the string.
What is the magnitude of the tension in the cord?
Tension = mass(acceleration) + force of gravity Force of gravity equals mass times gravity (9.8m/s2)
What type of force pull two plates together?
tension acting on the plates
What force causes divergent boundaries?
Tension
The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes a what?
The force that occurs at divergent boundaries is a convection force. This force allows material to rise to the base of the lithosphere beneath each divergent plate boundary.
Is the force called tension?
No, but force can result in tension.
Can rocks undergo compression tension and shear stress all at once?
no because its not possible unless both canceled out and you left with no force

What condition that is the opposite of tension occurs when a force squeezes an object?
It is subject to compression.
What are two types of elastic forces?
compression and tension Compression is a squeezing force, while tension is a pulling force.
What is the force tension?
When a force is applied on a string, a restoring force is developed in it in opposite direction of external force.This restoring force of string is tension.
What is the difference between torsion force and tension force?
if the force twists an obect, it is called torsion and if the force that stretches an object is called tension.
Is tension and compression a force?
Yes.They are force.
Is elastic force a contact force or a non- contact force?
A spring force is a contact force not a non-contact force.
How tension in string is nonconservative force?
No, the force in tension of a string is not conservative. The only non-conservative force acting is the tension force, but it acts perpendicular to the path of the object at every instant, and so it does zero work.
