Two opposite ends of a rock are pulled away from the middle Which type of stress does this cause?
Tensional stress
Balanced forces do not cause what?
Acceleration
Ask us What force is present at a divergent boundary?
A divergent boundary are two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other, rather than into each other. This can cause rifts, valleys, and ocean ridges.
What do to forces in the same direction cause?
friction
What is the cause of Jaw Cramps?
Normally, cunigulus.
Tensional forces normally cause what?
normal faults
Tensional forces cause what kind of fault?
In the extreme tension forces can cause local vulcanism. At a local level it may create fault block mountains. Over larger landscapes, it creates Rift Valleys such as the giant one in East Africa today.
What are the forces that cause the rock layers to move?
The forces that causes rock layers to move are; 1. Tensional Force. 2. Compressional Force. 3. Quiescent Force.
How do different forces act on Earth?
There are three main forces that drive deformation within the Earth. These forces create stress, and they act to change the shape and/or volume of a material. The following diagrams show the three main types of stress: compressional, tensional, and shear. Stress causes the build up of strain, which causes the deformation of rocks and the Earth's crust. Compressional stresses cause a rock to shorten. Tensional stresses cause a rock to elongate, or pull apart. Shearstresses causes rocks to slip past each other.
How does faulting of the earth's layer occur?
Faulting occurs when tensional forces act in opposite directions and cause one slab of the rock to be displaced up and the other slab down.
Sudden release of tensional force along fault?
This could cause an earthquake.
Two opposite ends of a rock are pulled away from the middle Which type of stress does this cause?
Tensional stress
What change earth surface?
Convection currents beneath the tectonic plates of the crustal surface of the earth provide heat from the core in circular motions, and make plate boundaries move together from compressional forces at convergent boundaries, apart from tensional forces at divergent boundaries, and side by side from shear force at transform boundaries.
What is one way forces act on atoms?
Forces cause bonds to form.
What forces cause strike slip fault?
The forces that cause strike slip faults are shearing forces. These forces refer to a pair of equally opposed forces.
What can other forces do that frictional forces cannot do?
cause motion &+ cause positive acceleration . #
What do unbalanced forces cause according to Newton's Formula?
Unbalanced forces cause acceleration.
