Two types of stress are compressional and tensional stress. Shear stress also plays a significant role in deformations in the Earth's crust at transform and strike slip faults.
It can be the cause of folding, faulting, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and rifts.
A strike-slip fault occurs at a transform boundary. It is created when stress is added to rock, in this case the stress that is on the rock is called shearing. A fault is simply a crack in the Earth's crust, and strike-slip fault is when the two pieces of crust are sliding past one another horizontally. An example of a strike-slip fault is the San Andreas Fault in California.
Oceanic crust is predominately made of basaltic rock with a thin layer of sedimentary rock on top. Continental crust is predominately made of granitic rock, with a thin layer of sedimentary rock covering much of the visible surface.

"NARUTO"
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.
Tensile stress.
Tensile force / stress.
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.
Stress forces squeeze or pull the rock in the Earth's crust.
because when it acts on the surface it stretches the rock to make craters or " dents" on the crust.

Tension or tensile stress is what you described in the question.
