What is the force that stretches or pulls apart the crust of the earth?

Tension stretches or pulls apart the crust.


What stress pulls crust and stretches rock?

Tensional stress pulls crust apart and stretches rock, causing it to deform and eventually break along fault lines. This type of stress commonly occurs at divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates are moving away from each other.


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 is the force that stretches or pulls apart the earths crust?

Generally materials that fly apart are being pushed rather than pulled. We could devise a mechanism that pulls materials apart - for example, if we attach two hooks and pull them on winches in opposite directions. In that case we would describe the force as mechanical in nature. But it is more likely that things get pushed apart by their own internal pressure.

What is stress that pulls and stretches the rock of the crust?

Tension stress is the type of stress that pulls and stretches the rock of the Earth's crust. It commonly occurs at divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This stress can lead to the formation of features like rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges.


What is the elastic force the stretches or pulls matter?

Elasticity is a type of strain that is recoverable, it is not a force. However it is caused by an imposed force which generates a stress below the yield strength of a material. If the force is pulling or stretching a material it is known as a tensile force or stress.
