The answer is <em>Compressional Stress
</em>

In geology, stress<span> is the force per unit area that is placed on a rock. ... This is called confining </span>stress<span>. Compression squeezes rocks together, </span>causing<span> rocks to fold or fracture (break). Compression is the most common </span>stress<span> at </span>convergent plate boundaries<span>.

I hope this helped!! Have a great day :D</span>

A copper rod at 25°C is 2.5 m long. How long would it take a sound to move through the rod from one end to another? how would I
andrew-mc [135]
Length of the copper rod = 2.5 meters
Speed at which sound travels through copper = 3560 meter per second
Let us assume the time taken
by sound to cover the given distance = x seconds
We already know that 
Speed = Distance/ Time
Then
Time = Distance/ Speed
x = 2.5/3560 seconds
   = 0.0007 seconds.
This can ve done by hitting one end of the rod and then receiving the sound at the other end and using the stop clock to measure the time taken.
