What happens to earth's surface when horizontal pressure is applied to rocks?

When a horizontal pressure is applied to rocks, the earth's surface will form lines that are perpendicular to the direction of the pressure. This can be compared to folds in a wrinkled rug lying on a floor.

How is the orientation of foliation related to stress?

The foliation in metamorphic minerals is always perpendicular to the direction of pressure. E.g. Vertical pressure is applied, the foliation will be horizontal, and vice-versa, the pressure is horizontal you get vertical foliation. From yahoo answers


What are the Laws of liquid pressure?

1) Pressure increases with depth 2) Pressure is the same on the same horizontal plane of the liquid 3) Pressure varies with different liquids on the same horizontal plane 4) Pressure is the same in all directions about a point 5) A liquid seeks its own level

What do high and low pressure systems have to do with wind?

A high pressure system has a weaker horizontal pressure gradient than a low pressure system, which means the atmospheric pressure varies widely in a low pressure system and doesn't vary much in a high pressure system. The wind speed depends on the strength of the horizontal pressure gradient.On a meteorological map, the horizontal pressure gradient is marked with isobars, which are lines with match the points with the same atmospheric pressure. A high pressure system is characterized by widely spaced isobars while low pressure systems are noted by tightened close isobars.A high pressure system may have an air pressure of 1028 hPa in his core and 1013 hPa in its periphery: the air pressure varies about 16 hPa. A low pressure system may have an air pressure of 987 hPa in its core and 1013 in its periphery : the air pressure varies about 26 hPa. So, the winds will be very light and even non-existent in a high pressure system while the winds will be very strong and even turbulent in a low pressure system.
