Is structural stress theory related to human ecological manifestations?
yes
What is stress that pulls on the rocks of the crust called?
Stress that acts to pull materials (including rocks of the crust) apart is known as tensile stress.
What stress causes rocks to pull apart?
The type of stress that causes rocks to pull apart is a tension stress. It is the major type of stress found in divergent plate boundaries.
What is rocks Stress?
Stress is simply the force per unit area that is deforming the rocks, whether that is compression, extension, or shear.
What causes rocks to pull apart?
The type of stress that causes rocks to pull apart is a tension stress. It is the major type of stress found in divergent plate boundaries.
What type of stress pulls rocks apart?
Tensional stress.
What happens to rocks as they go undergo stress?
The rocks either fracture under the stress, or become compressed in different rocks known as "metamorphic".
Any time stress causes rocks to change what is the result?
Any time stress causes rocks to change, deformation occurs.
Is the result Any time stress causes rocks to change?
Any time stress causes rocks to change, deformation occurs.
Does stress takes energy out of rock?
No, stress is a force that adds energy to rocks.
What kind of stress causes a anticline?
anticlines are caused by extensional stress on the rocks, and syncline is caused by compressional stress. The stress is always pushing from the oldest layer of rock toward the youngest layer of rock, so in an anticline, where the oldest rocks are in the center of the rock fold, they push outward toward the younger rocks. In a syncline the youngest rocks are in the center of the fold and the oldest rocks are on the outer edge, the older rocks push inward toward the youngest rock.
What is stress that pulls on rocks of the crust?
tension
