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.
Are faults caused by tension or compression?
yes tension pulls the rocks apart which produces expanding faultscompression pushes the rocks together which produces crushing faultsshear slides the rocks past each other which produces slipping faults
What is the force that squeezes rocks together?
Stresses the squeeze rocks or anything else are compressive.
The squeezing together of rocks by stress is called?
It is called compression.
At a reverse fault what force pushes on rocks from opposite directions?
mnopserious known as i think compressional
When compression pushes rocks together it creates what type of fault?
A reverse or thrust fault.
What does a compression create after it pushes rocks together?
Reverse faults
What force causes a revers fault?
At a reverse fault, compression forces pushes on rocks from opposite directions.

What is the difference between a normal fault and reverse fault?
A Reverse fault is happens when tectonic forces cause compression that PUSHES rocks together. Normal fault happens when tectonic forces cause tension that PULLS rocks apart.Normal fault is when the hanging block moves down relative to foot block wall where as the reverse fault is formed when the hanging block wall moves up relative to the foot block walls a result of tension and compression force respectively
When compression pushes rocks together its creates a?
What do you think it creates?? it dependes what type of rock it is but if its metamorphic rock, say, limestone, when its compressed it turns into marble

What is crustal Compression?
when they are pushed together they form crustal rocks
