In Earth geological processes there is no such thing as TENSION Just changes in the magnitude and direction of compressive forces (the main one being Gravity which is ALWAYS normal to the earths surface - it is what makes the planet round).
Cracks in rocks form because rocks contain fluids (water) which act hydraulically (they exert the maximum pressure in ALL directions) not because the rock is cracking under tension.
Therefore NO mountain range can be the result of tension stress.
Most mountain ranges are the result of crustal compression/thickening (fold mountains like the rockies) but mountains can also be formed where there is a regime of crustal thinning. These are called horsts.
What else can I help you with?
What mountain range is formed as result of tension stress?
The Basin and Range mountain range is formed as a result of tension stress, which causes the crust to be pulled apart and stretched horizontally, resulting in the characteristic alternating valleys and mountain ranges in the region.
What word meaning a feeling of stress is formed by taking away the first 2 letters from inventive then changing one letter?
A feeling of stress is tension, or anxiety. To form tension, you need to change 2 letters.

What is the name for the stress that stretches rock so that it becomes thinner?
Tension or tensile stress is what you described in the question.
Is stress a nerve or tension?
Yes stress is a tension thing. It causes the person to take tension. It causes one to think negatively.
Which features involve tension?
Features that involve tension include fault lines, mountain ranges, cliffs, and folds in rock layers. Tension forces can cause these features to form as the Earth's crust responds to the stress.
What does tension mean?
if you mean whene you give some one lots of tension <><><><><> Tension is stress, or voltage, to name just two. tension-is stress that streches or pull rocks apart
When an object is being stretched it is said to be in?
