Compression
When stress squeezes an object it is compression. When stress stretches an object it is called tension. The process by which the shape of a rock changes because of stress is called deformation.

Compression is the condition that occurs when a force squeezes an object, which is the opposite of tension. In compression, the object experiences a pushing or squeezing force that tends to compact its particles together. This can lead to deformation or structural failure if the object's material cannot withstand the compressive forces.
Sand squeezed together, and aged, can make a pearl.
The stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks is called compressional stress. This type of stress occurs when forces push together in opposite directions, causing rocks to deform under pressure.
Stresses the squeeze rocks or anything else are compressive.
Compressive or compression
Stress forces squeeze or pull the rock in the Earth's crust.
The three types of stresses are compression, tension and shear...
The amount of stress or force that an object can take.
