Stress and Strain –A shear stress is due to forces parallel to one another by in opposite directions along a discrete surface, such as a fault.
{"Image DocumentName": "Stress and Strain Three types of Stress:", "Image ImageDescription": "A compressive stress is caused by forces pushing together, or squeezing from opposite directions. Compressive stress is common along convergent plate boundaries. Typically results in rocks being deformed by a shortening strain; either by bending and/or folding. A tensional stress is caused by forces pulling away from one another in opposite directions. Tensional stress is produced at divergent plate boundaries and results in a stretching or extensional strain.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
