∙ 16y ago# Stress on the Earth's crust is due to the heat of the mantle and core attempting to escape into the atmosphere. Molten material rises in currents under the crust, causing the floating oceanic and continental plates to have motion and stresses when they interact.

Wiki User
∙ 15y agothere is stress on the earths crust because of all of the pressure like soil is put onto the crust with a little stress the rock bends with more stress the rock breaks

How does stress change earths crust?
It causes it to deform - this deformation is called "strain".
How do motions affect Earth's crust?
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
What occurs when rocks layers bend due to stress in the Earths crust?
I found that folding happens
What process causes stress in Earths crust?
Plate tectonics, the movement of the large pieces of the earth's crust, give rise to great stress along the boundaries of the plates. Wikipedia has a post on plate tectonics, and a link is provided.
