Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms folded mountains?
The tectonic plates that collide vertical to one opposit end of the other so that the can crash making an earthquake this is done to global warming but really it is earthquake causing global warming
What type of stress caused the San Andreas fault?
Tectonic shear stress.
What is compressional stress?
Compressional stress is the stress produced by two tectonic plates moving towards each other.
What major mountain range in the world created by folding stress?
the Himalayan mountains
Does stress contribute to raise the risk of having heart attacks?
Stress does not always cause a heart problem. If a person already suffers from high blood pressure, and the stress causes an adrenaline reaction that increases heart rate and blood pressure even further, that could cause a problem.
What kind of tectonic stress causes folded mountains?
Suck a dick
Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms fault - block mountains?
Tectonic stress forms faults and blocks mountains.
Folded mountains in the middle of tectonic plate?
Compression stress from other tectonic plates squeeze the plates, causing it to buckle in the center, and for mountains to form.
What kind of stress causes fault block mountains?
The kind of stress that causes fault block mountains is Tension
Type of stress that causes folding mountains?
Folding is caused by compressional stress.
What type of force causes folded mountains?
Compressional Stress
What stress occurs when two tectonic plates collide?
When two tectonic plates collide, it is called compressional stress at convergent boundaries. Rocks and plates usually have stronger compressional strength than tensional strength (which would happen at divergent boundaries). This means the higher the likelihood of developing mountains for continent-continent convergence or being subducted for oceanic-oceanic/oceanic-continental boundaries.
What types of tectonic force create mountains?
The type of tectonic forces that create mountains are called converging plates. As two continental plates push together, the stress forces them both upwards. Because of this the Himalayas are still growing.
What are the environmental causes of a Tsunami?
Tsunamis are most commonly the result of plate shifting and earthquakes. This is why tsunami's are more common along areas of tectonic stress.
Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms folded mountains?
The tectonic plates that collide vertical to one opposit end of the other so that the can crash making an earthquake this is done to global warming but really it is earthquake causing global warming
What type of stress caused the San Andreas fault?
Tectonic shear stress.
What causes a stress?
Verticle stress causes monocline. Verticle stress causes monocline.
