The three main type of stress are : Compression, Tension, and Shear stress.  Compression squeezes and shortens rock while Tension stretches and pulls rock, making it thinner.  <span>Shear stress distorts a body by pushing parts of the body in opposite directions. Sheared rock bends, twists, or breaks apart and slides past neighboring rock. So, Compression stress is the stress that forms mountains resulting from large blocks of rock squeezing together.  </span>

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

The duration of hours of the day is longer during the summer and shorter during the winter and this influences the temperature in these two seasons. As the day is longer in the summer, it means that the hemisphere that this summer has more exposure to the sun and therefore has higher temperatures. The opposite happens in the winter, as there is less exposure to the sun, due to the shorter day, which can help in decreasing the time.
