What happens to rocks when they undergo stress?
When the tension (stress) is great enough, they will fracture or deform.
What fault occurs when tectonic plates pull apart from one another and tensional stress is placed on rock layers?
normal fault occurs...odyssey
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.
When rocks are pulled apart by tectonic forces what occurs?
This often produces a mid-ocean ridge, where magma welling up from deep below reaches the sea bed and solidifies.

What type of stress occurs when layers of rock are pulled apart?
It is the SHEAR.

When would you be pulled apart if you fell into a black hole?
Not pulled apart but RIPPED apart to shred's.
What duplicated chromosomes are pulled apart during the fourth stage of mitosis called?
Before they are pulled apart they are called sister chromatids. Once they are pulled apart they are called chromosomes.
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 stress causes rocks to pull apart?
The type of stress that causes rocks to pull apart is a tension stress. It is the major type of stress found in divergent plate boundaries.
What is the Stress force that pulls rock apart?
Tensile stress.
Where rift valleys form?
A rift valley forms when the lithospheric stretches, tension stress occurs, causing rock to pull apart, break, and form normal faults.
What causes rocks to pull apart?
The type of stress that causes rocks to pull apart is a tension stress. It is the major type of stress found in divergent plate boundaries.
What type of stress pulls rocks apart?
Tensional stress.
When rocks are pulled apart by tectonic forces what occurs?
This often produces a mid-ocean ridge, where magma welling up from deep below reaches the sea bed and solidifies.
