What is initial stress?

The initial stress is the stress of the object before any force is applied to it, which in most cases would be zero ideally. However, the different composites that make up the material react differently to external influences, temperature comes to mind, and may therefore have a net, non-zero stress before an external load is applied.

What are shear stresses?

The forces are equal magnitude but opposite directions act tangent the surfaces of opposite ends of the object the shear stress as force "f" acting tangent to the surface,dived by the "area"{a} shear stress=f/a


Why are strike faults common at transform boundaries?

Strike-slips are common at transform boundaries because of Shear stress which pushes different parts of rock in different directions.
