Stress forces affect rocks in various ways. The most common effects include cracking, breaking, shrinking or total change in their composition among others.
what happens to too much stress that is applied to a rock
This question does not make sense, please ask again later. Thank you!
Some way rocks can respond to stress is by cracking or sometimes if it's serious, they can even crack into pieces.
The rocks bend or break.
it will break or change shape
Reverse fault
The rock moves because forces deep inside earth create stress or pressure in the rock when the pressure in the rock builds up enough,the rock breaks or changes shape releasing energy in the form of waves
The force that squeezes a rock until it folds or breaks is called compression. When enough stress builds up in a rock, the rock can break, and create a fault.
much strain builds in the rockthe rock breaks, releasing the strainearthquake
The fault will be locked until the pressure builds up enough until it breaks.
The fault locks, and stress builds up until an earthquake occurs.
erosion happens
Because of friction and the rigidity of the rock, the rocks cannot glide or flow past each other. Rather, stress builds up in rocks and when it reaches a level that exceeds the strain threshold, the accumulated potential energy is dissipated by the release of strain, which is focused into a plane along which relative motion is accommodated-the fault.
Sediment builds up over time and expands. Probably like a huge rock or a giant elephant.

It could help you relax and relieve stress.
A body of rock affected by tensile stress will likely undergo stretching. This happens during the asymmetric deformation of a rock mass.
