tension
What is the stress force that pulls on the crust and thins rock in the middle is?

What is the Stress force that pulls rock apart?
Tensile stress.
What is a force that stretches rock called?
Tensile force / stress.
When stress stretches an object it is called?
When stress squeezes an object it is compression. When stress stretches an object it is called tension. The process by which the shape of a rock changes because of stress is called deformation.
What force squeezes the rock in the Earth's crust?

How does tension change the shape earths crust?
because when it acts on the surface it stretches the rock to make craters or " dents" on the crust.
