Answer: Compression tests are used to determine a material's behavior under applied crushing loads, and are typically conducted by applying compressive pressure to a test specimen (usually of either a cuboid or cylindrical geometry) using platens or specialized fixtures on a universal testing machine.

Explanation: Stress is the force applied to a rock and may cause deformation. The three main types of stress are typical of the three types of plate boundaries: compression at convergent boundaries, tension at divergent boundaries, and shear at transform boundaries. Where rocks deform plastically, they tend to fold.

Pachacha [2.7K]
The Americans won the Spanish-American War. As a result of the Treaty of Paris, the US gained territory in the Pacific and Carribean, including Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. This led to the US increasing production of more foreign goods that they could now produce in their own territories, and therefore expanded their markets.
