Why is the stress the earths crust?
The earth's crust is not stress
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
What forces squeezes or pull the rock in earths crust?
Stress forces squeeze or pull the rock in the Earth's crust.
What is a mega earthquake?
A mega earthquake is seismic activity below the earths crust that causes fluctuations in the earths tectonic plates. This forces the ground to shake and the earths crust to crack.
What causes magma to flow out of a weak spot in the earths crust?
Geothermal presure.
What causes stress earths crust?
The movement in earths plates create powerful forces that pull or squeeze the rock in the crust.
What type of stress causes the earths crust to become thinner?

How does stress change earths crust?
It causes it to deform - this deformation is called "strain".
Why is the stress the earths crust?

What process causes Earth's crust to be continuously formed by volcanic activity?
Pressure from the earths core
Three types of stress that occer in earths crust?
Compression Stress Tension Stress Shearing Stress
How does stress in the crust change earths crust?
it means earthquakes will happen more often
Process of breaking down the earths crust?
Weathering is the process of breaking down Earth's crust.
The process that shape the earths crust by forming new features are called?
the process that shape earths crust by forming new features is called endogenious :)
What forces squeezes or pull the rock in earths crust?
Stress forces squeeze or pull the rock in the Earth's crust.
What is the process of removing deposits from the earths crust?
