A convergent boundary causes what stress type?

A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.


If a short stack of paper represented a region of Earth's surface which fold or cut in the stack would show a monocline?

A monocline is a geological formation where rock layers are folded in a way that forms a single steep bend or slope in the Earth's crust. To represent a monocline with a stack of paper, you would fold the stack in a way that creates a single steep bend or slope in the layers, resembling the shape of a monocline. This could be done by gently pushing down on one side of the stack to create a steep angle or bend.


What stress causes rocks to pull apart?

Tensional stress causes rocks to pull apart. This type of stress occurs when rocks are being pulled in opposite directions, leading to the stretching and extension of the rock mass. Over time, this can lead to the formation of faults and fractures in the rocks.


Type of stress that causes folding mountains?

Compressive stress causes folding mountains to form. This stress occurs when tectonic plates collide or converge, leading to the deformation and folding of rock layers, ultimately creating mountain ranges.


What type of stress causes an earthquake?

Tectonic stress causes most earthquakes. This stress is generated as tectonic plates move and collide with each other, building up pressure that is eventually released as an earthquake. Other types of stress, such as volcanic or anthropogenic activities, can also trigger earthquakes in specific circumstances.

Monocline


How was the lapstone monocline formed?

The monocline took place gradually, as the nepean river was able to cut down into the rock layers at a rate that allowed it to retain its course (which at present cuts into the monocline)


What is the biggest monocline in Australia?

The largest monocline in Australia, and in the world, is Mt Augustus in Western Australia. However, there is some dispute as to whether Mt Augustus is a monolith or a monocline. A monocline is an exposed slab of rock which belongs to the layer of rock underneath. Uluru/Ayers Rock is often regarded as the least monolith or monocline, as there is more of the rock below the surface than above; regardless, Mt Augustus is larger than Uluru.

Are stress and anxiety the same thing?

Stress and anxiety are often used interchangeably but there are differences between the two. Stress is a response to an event that causes physiological stress in the body, while anxiety is a response to an event that causes psychological stress.


What stress causes a fault?

In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
