A tension force is one that pulls materials apart. A compression force is one that squeezes material together.For example, if you pull on a strong rope, it can support a large amount of tension. If you push on a rope, it cannot resist compression very well, and just bends.

Answer: Tension and compression refer to forces that attempt to deform an object. The main difference between tension and compression is that tension refers to forces that attempt to elongate a body, whereas compression refers to forces that attempt to shorten the body.
