Three types of stress that occurs in Earth's crust?
Tension, Compresion, and Shear :)
How do floods affect the earths crust?
it gets soggy
The crust is only what of earths thickness?
half of earths layer
What is the earths under crust surrounded by?
Earths under crust surrounded by Upper Mantle (35-60 km) .The mantle is composed of sillicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
Is it true that earths crust contains most of earths mass?
No. The crust contains a small fraction of earth's mass. Most of the mass is contained in the mantle.
Do compression and tension affect the thickness of earth's crust?
Compression and tension can indeed affect the thickness of the Earth's crust. Compression can thicken the crust by folding and faulting, while tension can cause stretching and thinning of the crust through processes like rifting and faulting. These tectonic forces play a significant role in shaping the Earth's crust over geological time scales.

Compression Stress Tension Stress Shearing Stress
Compare the way that compression affects the crust to the way that tension affects the crust?
Compression causes rocks to be pushed together, leading to folding and faulting in the crust, often resulting in mountain building. Tension, on the other hand, causes rocks to be pulled apart, resulting in the formation of rift valleys and normal faulting. Both compression and tension are important in shaping the Earth's crust and can lead to the formation of various geological features.
What occurs when the earths crust is squeezed into smaller space?
compression
How does compression affect the crust?
faulting

What forces squeezes or pull the rock in earths crust?
The primary forces that act on rocks in Earth's crust are compression and tension. Compression occurs when rocks are squeezed together, often leading to folding and faulting. Tension is when rocks are pulled apart, creating fractures and rifts. These forces are generated by tectonic plate movements and can result in various geological features.
What type of stress causes the earths crust to become thinner?
Tension
How does stress affect earth's crust?
Shearing, tension, and compression work over millions of years to change the shape and volume of rock. Those are types of stress.

What is compression in plate tectonics?
it is the movement of the earths crust. it moves inwards towards other plates so the earths crust moves upwards therefore forming mountains, volcanoes etc
