What is stress that pulls on the rocks of the crust called?
Stress that acts to pull materials (including rocks of the crust) apart is known as tensile stress.
What is the name given to the force that tends to pull rocks apart?
The force that tends to pull rocks apart is called tensional stress. This stress occurs when rocks are being stretched in opposite directions, causing them to break and create faults or fractures in the Earth's crust.
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.
How can plants pull rocks apart?
because they are the same lengh
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?
Tensional stress causes rocks to pull apart. This type of stress occurs when rocks are being pulled in opposite directions, leading to the stretching and extension of the rock mass. Over time, this can lead to the formation of faults and fractures in the rocks.
What are produced when tension stresses inside Earth pull rocks apart?
When tension stresses inside Earth pull rocks apart, fractures known as faults are formed. These faults can lead to earthquakes as accumulated stress is suddenly released along the fault plane.
What are the fibers that shorten and pull the chromatids apart called?
The fibers that shorten and pull the chromatids apart are called microtubules. During cell division, microtubules form the spindle apparatus and attach to the chromosomes to facilitate their separation.
What process can break rocks apart?
erosion can break rocks apart, weathering can also break rocks apart
What is it called when plant roots that force cracks in rocks farther apart?
natural decomposition
What is it called when water enters cracks and freezes and expands breaking rocks apart?
This process is called frost wedging or freeze-thaw weathering. Water enters cracks in rocks, freezes and expands, causing the rock to break apart over time.
When two magnets pull apart or push together it is called?
When two magnets pull apart or push together, it is called magnetic attraction or repulsion. Magnetism results from the force between charged particles in magnetic materials.
