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
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.
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.
re formation
The amount of stress an object can withstand and return to its original shape is called its elastic limit. This is the maximum stress a material can endure without undergoing permanent deformation.
The squeezing together of rocks by stress is called compression. In scientific terms Compression is when a force called stress pushes rock/squeezes rock together until it folds or breaks.
No, compression is a force that pushes or squeezes an object together, reducing its volume or size. Twisting force is called torsion, which involves a force being applied in a rotational manner to an object.
