What else can I help you with?
What 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.
A convergent boundary causes what stress type?
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.
In the context of stress the flip side of an uplift is?
a hassle
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.
What type of force causes folded mountains?
Compressional Stress
What type of stress causes the earths crust to become thinner?
Tension
What causes a stress?
Verticle stress causes monocline. Verticle stress causes monocline.
What type of stress causes anticlines and synclines?
its the circulation of the rock and when it pushes together
A divergent boundary causes what type of stress?
A divergent boundary causes tensional stress, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This stress results in the stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust, leading to the formation of new crust through volcanic activity and seafloor spreading.
What causes uplift?
The earth's crust moves and the crust moves up When you have something like the rifting of a continent, the lithosphere heats up and causes it to rise. sinking of craton edges can be caused by things like tectonic loading.
What type of stress causes stretching of the land?
tension (Dip-Slip Normal fault)
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.
