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>

uysha [10]
As far as a threat, North Korea has been seen as such for many years (since WWII), when North Korea sided with Russia. America and its Capitalism were not fond of the Communist party, and so we have really been fighting/being concerned about Russian influence.

Historically North and South Korea have been in conflict many years before America and Russia got involved. When we did though it got worse.

Trump has done very little to resolve this, some would say he is making it worse.
