Why do you use the term stress instead of pressure when you discuss rock deformation?

Pressure describes a load acting over an external surface. Stress describes the loading within the material. This is often caused by the material deforming so that one part presses against another. So if the loading has an external source acting over an external area it is pressure, if the loading is internal and distributed over a cross section of the material it is stress.
