shifting of the earth's crust causes earthquakes
The great San Francisco earthquake happened in 1906 and not in 1902. The type of stress was a strike-slip stress.
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.
Folding is caused by compressional stress.
a convergent boundary causes compression
It is stored in the form of elastic strain (also known as elastic potential energy) in the rocks of the crust as they deform under stress.

tension is the type of stress that causes the crust to become thinner.
