What kind of tension leads to earthquakes?
Earthquakes are primarily caused by tectonic stress, which occurs when the Earth's tectonic plates interact. This stress can result from three main types of tension: compressional stress, where plates push together; tensional stress, where plates pull apart; and shear stress, where plates slide past one another. When the accumulated stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, it releases energy in the form of seismic waves, causing an earthquake.
Another name for a compressional wave?
Sound wave
What waves causes compressional waves caused by colliding air molecules?
Sound Waves
What would happen if water waves were Compressional?
They would likely have much less of an impact than real ocean waves do. As it is, the only compressional waves that can move through water are sound waves, as water is, of the most part, incompressible, as are most liquids and solids.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
What is the opposite stress of compressional stress?
Tensile.
What type of stress is placed on fold?
Compressional Stress
What is the dominant type of stress associated with folded?
Answer: Compressional stress.
Which type of stress caused the himalaya mountains to form?
Compressional Stress
What is stress at a convergent plate?
The type of stress developed at a convergent boundary is Compressional Stress.
Compressional stresses can form what?
compressed stress
What type of force causes folded mountains?
Compressional Stress
What is the dominant type of stress associated with folded mountains?
The dominant type of stress associated with folded mountains is compressional stress caused by tectonic plate collision. As plates converge, the rocks are squeezed and folded, leading to the formation of folded mountain ranges such as the Himalayas and the Appalachians.
Folding is usually the result of what type of stress?
Folding is usually the result of compressional stress, where rocks are squeezed together and deform due to tectonic forces. This can lead to the bending or curving of rock layers.
What types of faults formed in compressional stress?
reverse fault
A convergent boundary causes what stress type?
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.
What is a major type of stress that occurs at convergent plate boundaries?
One major type of stress that occurs at convergent plate boundaries is compressional stress. This stress is caused by the collision of two tectonic plates, leading to the plates pushing against each other and causing rocks to compress and deform, leading to the formation of mountain ranges or subduction zones.
