Shearing is a deformation of a material substance in which parallel internal surfaces slide past one another. It affects the rocks in the Earth's crust when the rocks are being pulled apart in opposite horizontal directions.

What is rock shearing?
Shearing of rocks is when rocks are pushed in opposite directions.
What type of stress pulls rocks apart?
Tensional stress.
These forces push on rocks from different but not opposite directions?
divergent bounders or shearing forces
Does shearing forces push rocks from different but not opposite directions?
this kind of fault occurs at a transform plate boundaries
When shearing acts on rocks what happens?
Depends on the pressure, temperature and rate of shear. See mechanisms this page to view responses different conditions.
What is rock shearing?
Shearing of rocks is when rocks are pushed in opposite directions.
What is shearing on earth's crust?
shearing is when rocks pushes in opposite directions
What forces push on rocks from not different but opposite directions?
Shearing is the force that pushes rocks from different but not opposite directions. Secondary waves, S waves are all names for the shearing.

Tensional stress.
Two things that affect rocks in the earth's crust?
shearing and heat.
Is The squeezing together of rocks by stress is called shearing.?
No, it's called compression.

Shearing creates what types of faults?
In geology, shearing occurs when rocks slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions. The kind of fault created by shearing is called a strike-slip fault.
What are rocks that move in opposite horizontal directions?
Convergent plate boundary.
