These are tensile forces.
Tensile stress.
Tensile stress.
gravity is a force that pulls object toward each other
The amount of force which gravity pulls down an object is called its weight.
Tension stretches or pulls apart the crust.
tension
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.
it may be gravity
tension
the type of stress that pulls the crust is called TENSION.
Stress that acts to pull materials (including rocks of the crust) apart is known as tensile stress.
the type of stress that pulls the crust is called TENSION.
The force that pulls atoms apart is called fission. Nuclear reactors use controlled fission to produce massive amounts of energy.
