The stress force that pulls on the crust where two plates are moving apart is called .?
tension
What is the force that stretches or pull apart the crust called?
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.
What is the stress force that pulls on the crust where two plates are moving apart?
it may be gravity
What causes cracks in the earth's crust?
The crust is the thinnest part on the Earth.
What is stress that pulls and stretches the rock of the crust?
Rocks in the crust are put under a pulling stress, or tensile stress, when tectonic plates are moving apart from one another. A good example of this is the Rift Valley in Africa.
What is stress that pulls on crust?
the type of stress that pulls the crust is called TENSION.
What is stress that pulls on the rocks of the crust called?
Stress that acts to pull materials (including rocks of the crust) apart is known as tensile stress.
The stress force that pulls on the crust where two plates are moving apart is called .?
