Two types of stress are compressional and tensional stress. Shear stress also plays a significant role in deformations in the Earth's crust at transform and strike slip faults.

Tensional stress
shearing
stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions is called shearing
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.
Stress, in geology, is pressure and can result in an earthquake should the stress in a rock layer suddenly slip when the rock fractures and there is a sudden movement between the two surfaces.
Faulting is caused by stress in the rock layers, the stress can break and crack the rock causing a fault. There are two types of faults a normal fault and a reverse fault.
Have a lot of fun.
rocks usually deform due to wind and erosion depending upon the intensity to which they are effected.
The collision of objects will create compressive and possibly shear stress.
