Question

Explain the different results of stress on layers of rock. Include a discussion of whether each result happens slowly or quickly.

Answer 1

There are three specific types of stress.
Compression occurs when pressure pushes in on an object from opposite sides this happens slowly.
Tension occurs when pressure pulls on opposite sides of an object, causing it to stretch this happens quickly.
shear occurs when two objects try to slide past each other in opposite directions this happens not to fast but not to slow.
