What is stress that pushes mass of rock in opposite directions?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Tensile stress is the result of a force acting over a cross sectional area that pulls material apart. This occurs in normal faults, rift valleys and at divergent plate boundaries.

What happens when a tropical martime air mass pushes up against a polar continental air mass?
it creates heavy storms
How heart rate and body mass might affect life expectancy of mammals?
Excessive body mass puts extra stress on the heart and can reduce the life expectancy of mammals. For humans a proper diet and exercise will expand their life expectancy.
What is the difference between protons neutrons and electrons can I please have a simple answer?
Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, but the proton is electrically charged and the neutron isn't. Electrons have a much much lower mass and an opposite electrical charge to that of the proton. That's about as simple as I can get it. It's by no means the only difference between them.
What is the moon's mass compared to the earth's mass?
1 earth mass = 81.78 moon mass (rounded)1 moon mass = 0.01223 earth mass = 1.223% of earth mass (rounded)The mass of the moon is only 1.2 percent of the mass of Earth.
What makes a model rocket go up into the air?
rockets take off when gases are shot out of the opposite direction with great force. The gases are conctrated by being forced through a small nozzle Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen is the fuel.
Stress that pushes the mass of a rock in two opposite directions is called?
stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions is called shearing
What is the stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions called?
The stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions is called tension. Shearing is the stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions.
Stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions is called?
Have a lot of fun.
The stress force that causes a mass rock to pull of twist in opposite directions is called?
The stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions is called tension. Shearing is the stress force that causes a mass of rock to pull or twist in opposite directions.
What are the three types of stress that a force can cause inside an object?
The three types of stresses are compression, tension and shear...
Why do electron n positron move in opposite directions in pair production and how does momentum is conserved when they move in opposite directions?
They move in opposite directions when in a magnetic field because they have opposite charges. The force on a particle depends on its charge -- make the charge completely opposite, and the force on it will be completely opposite. Momentum is conserved when they move in opposite direction (that is, in their center of mass frame) because their respective masses are identical. One electron mass moving in one direction plus one electron mass moving in the opposite direction means a total momentum of zero. The system begins with zero momentum and ends that way.
Can you use newtons third law of motion to explain why the rocket moves upwards?
Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear.the force coming out of the rocket creates thrust and thus pushes the rocket and the ground in opposite directions, the mass of the earth is so great that the rocket can not really move it, so instead the rocket shoots up away from the ground.
Which is produce when a warm air mass pushes a colder mass?
An Warm air mass
Which is produced when warm air mass pushes a colder air mass?
An Warm air mass
What is the net force and acceleration of a ball of mass 0.750 kilograms that is subjected to forces of 11.00 newtons and 7.00 newtons from opposite directions?
Net force: Add the forces algebraically. In this case, since they are in opposite directions, you subtract. Acceleration: Use Newton's Second Law: F = ma. Solving for a: a = F/m.
When cold air mass pushes a warm air mass it forms what?
It is a warm front.
Which is produced when a warm air mass pushes a colder air mass?
stationary front
