What is the stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions called?
The stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions is called tension. Shearing is the stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions.
What is squeezing together of rocks by stress?
The squeezing together of rocks by stress is called compression. In scientific terms Compression is when a force called stress pushes rock/squeezes rock together until it folds or breaks.
Why are strike-slip faults common at transform boundaries?
