Generally materials that fly apart are being pushed rather than pulled. We could devise a mechanism that pulls materials apart - for example, if we attach two hooks and pull them on winches in opposite directions. In that case we would describe the force as mechanical in nature. But it is more likely that things get pushed apart by their own internal pressure.

does the moon's gravitational force affect the crust of the earth?

Gravity.
Gravity, its weight.
force in horse power for rocket at the time of launching
Tension stretches or pulls apart the crust.

When there is a divergent boundary, regardless if the plates are ocean-ocean or continental-continental, tensional stress pulls on the crust. Rocks have weaker tensional strength than compressive strength, so they are easier to pull apart.
tension
Compression is a force that changes Earth's crust by squeezing rock until it folds or breaks.
What is needed to make a real life Fault Block Mountain is cracks in the earth and other things. 1. Cracks in the earths crust force some materials of rocks up and others down. 2. The earths crust fractures ( pulls apart) 3. You have you a wonderful Fault Block Mountain
equillibrium in earths crust such that the force tending to elevate land masses balance the forces tending to depress land masses equillibrium in earths crust such that the force tending to elevate land masses balance the forces tending to depress land masses
Because the density of the force increases.

It breaks through the crust, and sometimes goes in the core, simply because all of the force and pressure from the plates rubbing together.
The force strong enough to break the Earth's crust is usually associated with tectonic plate movements. These movements occur due to the movement of molten rock in the Earth's mantle, which exerts pressure on the crust. Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, and divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move apart, are common areas where the Earth's crust can break and create earthquakes and volcanic activity.
