Sudden release of tensional force along fault?
This could cause an earthquake.
Fault block mountains are made of?
Fault-block landforms (mountains, hills, ridges, etc.) are formed when large areas of bedrock are widely broken up by faults creating large vertical displacements of continental crust.These mountains are formed by the Earth's crust being stretched and extended by tensional forces. Fault block mountains commonly accompany rifting, another indicator of tensional tectonic forces.
What is the definition of artificial boundaries?
An artificial boundary is a boundary made by humans, examples include dams, the fence at the border between the U.S and Mexico. A natural boundary is a boundary made by nature, a boundary that "happens" naturally, examples include rivers, mountains and such.
What plate boundary causes seismic waves?
Destructive plate boundary.
What is the troposphere's topmost boundary?
The troposphere's topmost boundary is the tropopause.
What boundary does tensional stress occur?
it doesnt
What types of stress occurs at a divergent plate boundary?
Tensional stress
A divergent boundary causes what type of stress?
It causes tensional stress.
What is boundary tension?
Tensional boundary is the meeting zone of two tectonic plates at a normal fault; the plates move apart
Ask us What force is present at a divergent boundary?
A divergent boundary are two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other, rather than into each other. This can cause rifts, valleys, and ocean ridges.
What type of plate boundary causes shear stresses?
Shearing stress is one of three kinds of stresses. Compressional and tensional are the others. Shearing stress is associated with transform. The other two kinds of plate boundaries are convergent and divergent.
How is tensional force created?
Tensional force is created when there is an applied force that pulls or stretches an object. This force is typically generated by the interaction between two objects or components, such as when a rope is pulled from both ends or when a spring is stretched. Tensional force is responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the object and counteracting the forces trying to compress or break it.
A material that undergoes tensional stress tends to?
Stretch.
Tensional forces normally cause what?
normal faults
What type of stress is dominant at plate boundaries?
Tensional stress.
What type of force caused normal fault to form?
tensional forces
What types of stress occurs at divergent plate boundarys?
Tensional stress
