The force that squeezes a rock until it folds or breaks is called compression. When enough stress builds up in a rock, the rock can break, and create a fault.

What is squeezing together of rocks by stress?
The squeezing together of rocks by stress is called compression. In scientific terms Compression is when a force called stress pushes rock/squeezes rock together until it folds or breaks.
What is the force that squeezes rocks together?
Stresses the squeeze rocks or anything else are compressive.
How is stretching a rubber band until it breaks like earths crust during an earthquake?
It isn't really. But there is a release of tension when the rock that has been under tension suddenly snaps into a new position.
Describe how changes in the temperature cause rock fragmentation?
Water seeps into the rock, and when it freezes, it expands. When it heats up again, the water goes farther into the rock, and so on until the rock breaks.
Describe what happens along a fault beneath the earth's surface when an earthquake occurs?
it helps the earthquake get more power,that way the earthquake does more damageWhen an earthquake occurs stress and energy along faults increase until the rock breaks, and a huge amount of stored energy is released. Most, but not all earthquakes start in the lithosphere, relatively close to the surface, around 100 kilometers. Each day there are thousands of earthquakes, although most are too small to even feel.

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...
What is the force that squeezes rocks together?
Stresses the squeeze rocks or anything else are compressive.
What is lateral compression?
Lateral compression refers to a type of force that exerts pressure on an object from the sides, making it shorter or wider but not significantly affecting its length. This force can lead to deformation or buckling of the object if it exceeds its structural limits. Lateral compression is often encountered in structural engineering and geology.
Compression is a force that changes earths crust by?
Compression is a force that changes Earth's crust by squeezing rock until it folds or breaks.
Which stress is used during the tensile test of mild steel?
During a tensile test of mild steel, the bar is tested until it breaks. It measures how much stress the mild steel can take before it finally breaks under the pressure.
Does stress build in areas where rock along fault lines snag and remain locked?
The fault will be locked until the pressure builds up enough until it breaks.
What is an anaconda's behaviors?
it squeezes it's prey until it can't breathe
What do squirrels do when giving birth?
The female squirrel pushes and pushes and squeezes and squeezes until the babies come out its vagina. While the male watches in amazement.
What is strain and stress?
stress is load per unit area; when an object is loaded it is under stress and strain and it stretches (strains) until it breaks at its ultimate strength. Stress i srelated to strain in the elastic region by Hooke's law: stress = elastic modulus times strain where modulus is a property of the material and strain is deflection over length
When was Bend It Until It Breaks created?
Bend It Until It Breaks was created on 1994-11-28.
How long does frozen rice keep in the freezer?
