Shearing is the force that pushes rocks from different but not opposite directions. Secondary waves, S waves are all names for the shearing.
Shear forces push on rocks from different directions but not opposite directions, causing them to slide past each other horizontally. This can lead to rock formations such as faults or folds in the Earth's crust.

Strike slip fault
In a reverse fault, compressional forces push rocks from opposite directions, causing the rocks to move vertically along the fault plane. The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to this compressional force.

Tensional forces, such as those found at tectonic plate boundaries where plates move away from each other, can tear rocks apart by pushing them in opposite directions. This can lead to the formation of faults and fractures in the rocks.
