Compression (that acts to decrease an objects volume by squashing it together), Tension (which acts to increase an objects volume by pulling it apart) and a bonus Shear which acts in opposite directions on opposite sides of an object to make the two halves slide past each other.

What are the three types of stress that deform earths surface?
weather ,seismic ,volcanic
What are the two types of stress that deform rock?
Two types of stress are compressional and tensional stress. Shear stress also plays a significant role in deformations in the Earth's crust at transform and strike slip faults.
What types of forces or stresses produces folds in rocks?
Tensional forces and compressional forces.
What are some types of stress in rocks?
The three main types of stress in a rock are shearing, tension, and compression.
Three types of deformation resulting from subjecting rock to stress?
folds-bending of the rocks without breaking faults-fracture of rocks with displacement joints-fracture of rocks wihtout displacement joints affect the resistance of rocks and making it subscitible to weathering

What does weathering and erosion have on rocks?
Weathering is when it rains and has a vary amount of wind and different types of weather. Erosion is when he rocks deform to different shapes. So it has a HUGE Impact because it changes the look of the rock.
what are the internal and external controlling factors for deformation of rocks (explain how)?
Internal Controlling Factors: Strength: The strength of the rock determines the amount of deformation that can occur before it fractures. Different types of rocks have different strengths, so the amount of deformation that can occur will vary depending on the type of rock. 2. Temperature: The temperature of the rock determines the amount of deformation that can occur. When rocks are heated, they become more ductile and can deform more easily than when they are cold. 3. Composition: The chemical composition of the rock can also influence its ability to deform. Rocks with higher amounts of silica tend to deform more easily than rocks with lower amounts. External Controlling Factors: Pressure: The external pressure applied to the rock can influence the amount of deformation it can endure. Higher pressures tend to cause rocks to deform more easily than lower pressures. 2. Stress: The type of stress applied to the rock can also influence how much deformation it can endure. Different types of stresses can cause different amounts of deformation. 3. Time: The amount of time over which the deformation takes place can also influence the amount of deformation that can occur. Deformation can occur over
What types of forces or stresses produces folds in rocks?
Tensional forces and compressional forces.
WHAT ARE two types of sedimentary rocks and describe what they are made from?
residual deposits and sedimentary deposits
Describe the changes that occur in the rock cycle?
In the rock cycle, rocks change into differant types of rocks over time. For example, igneous rocks might break into sediments that form sedimentary rocks.

What are manifestations of stress in rocks?
cracks == In addition to cracks: faulting, metamorphism to new rock types, earthquakes, tilting, and folding.
What are some types of stress in rocks?
The three main types of stress in a rock are shearing, tension, and compression.
