The movement in earths plates create powerful forces that pull or squeeze the rock in the crust.
What else can I help you with?
What type of stress causes the earths crust to become thinner?
Tension
How does stress change earths crust?
It causes it to deform - this deformation is called "strain".
Why is the stress the earths crust?
The earth's crust is not stress
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
What process causes stress in Earths crust?
Plate tectonics, the movement of the large pieces of the earth's crust, give rise to great stress along the boundaries of the plates. Wikipedia has a post on plate tectonics, and a link is provided.
Three types of stress that occer in earths crust?
Compression Stress Tension Stress Shearing Stress
How does stress in the crust change earths crust?
it means earthquakes will happen more often
How do motions affect Earth's crust?
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
How can stress change the Earth's crust?
It stresses it and causes cracks.
What occurs when rocks layers bend due to stress in the Earths crust?
I found that folding happens
A divergent boundary causes what type of stress?
A divergent boundary causes tensional stress, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This stress results in the stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust, leading to the formation of new crust through volcanic activity and seafloor spreading.
What is the name of ca famous break in the earths crust that causes earthquakes to occur?
The famous break in the Earth's crust that causes earthquakes to occur is called a fault line. Movement along fault lines can result in earthquakes due to the build-up and release of stress between tectonic plates.
