Any time stress causes rocks to change what is the result?
Any time stress causes rocks to change, deformation occurs.
What stress causes rocks to pull apart?
The type of stress that causes rocks to pull apart is a tension stress. It is the major type of stress found in divergent plate boundaries.
What kind of stress causes a anticline?
anticlines are caused by extensional stress on the rocks, and syncline is caused by compressional stress. The stress is always pushing from the oldest layer of rock toward the youngest layer of rock, so in an anticline, where the oldest rocks are in the center of the rock fold, they push outward toward the younger rocks. In a syncline the youngest rocks are in the center of the fold and the oldest rocks are on the outer edge, the older rocks push inward toward the youngest rock.
How do different forces act on Earth?
There are three main forces that drive deformation within the Earth. These forces create stress, and they act to change the shape and/or volume of a material. The following diagrams show the three main types of stress: compressional, tensional, and shear. Stress causes the build up of strain, which causes the deformation of rocks and the Earth's crust. Compressional stresses cause a rock to shorten. Tensional stresses cause a rock to elongate, or pull apart. Shearstresses causes rocks to slip past each other.
What causes sedimentary and igneous rocks to change?
by melting and cooling
Any time stress causes rocks to change what is the result?
Any time stress causes rocks to change, deformation occurs.
What is Any time stress causes rock to change is?
Any time stress causes rocks to change, deformation occurs.

Is gravity the force that causes rocks to change shape and size?
No, its erosion that causes rocks to change
As rocks undergo stress they shape and volume?
slowly change
What is a change in a rocks shape due to stress?
The change in shape of rock (and any other material) due to stress is called strain.
What two things change as rocks undergo stress?
Size and shape.
When rocks are metamorphosed the pressure causes them to become what?
Deformed, and change into metamorphic rocks.
As rocks undergo stress do they slowly change shape and volume?
A+: Answer: true yes they do
What kind of stress causes a anticline?
anticlines are caused by extensional stress on the rocks, and syncline is caused by compressional stress. The stress is always pushing from the oldest layer of rock toward the youngest layer of rock, so in an anticline, where the oldest rocks are in the center of the rock fold, they push outward toward the younger rocks. In a syncline the youngest rocks are in the center of the fold and the oldest rocks are on the outer edge, the older rocks push inward toward the youngest rock.
How does the weight of the earths crust help to form metamorpic rocks?
Weight causes density, density causes pressure, pressure causes heat. Heat and pressure change rocks into other rocks, which are metamophic.
