What do you think it creates?? it dependes what type of rock it is but if its metamorphic rock, say, limestone, when its compressed it turns into marble
When compression pushes rocks together, it creates a reverse fault. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression forces pushing the rocks together.

Reverse faults
Compression
True.
Rarefaction
A crack is caused by tension not compression because tension pulls matter apart while compression pushes matter together
Yes it's true, but that doesn't last very long. It creates a compression of the molecules during exactly half of each vibe, and during the other half, it leans the other way, and the molecules spread out in what's called a "rarefaction" ... a region of lower-than-normal pressure. This 'train' of compressions and rarefactions is what travels through the air, away from the vibrating object, and it's what some people often call a "sound wave".
The combination of a compression and a rarefaction creates a sound wave. A compression is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together, while a rarefaction is where the particles are farthest apart. Together, they form the alternating pattern of high and low pressure regions that make up a sound wave.
When a wire is pulled, it is said to be in tension. Tension is the force that stretches the wire and tries to pull it apart. This is in contrast to compression, which is the force that pushes a material together.
Yes, when an object vibrates, it causes the molecules in the surrounding medium to be pushed closer together, creating areas of compression. This leads to the propagation of sound waves through the medium.
Compression is a type of contact force that occurs when two objects are pressed against each other. It is the force that squeezes or pushes an object together when it is compressed.
