The sense of #stress determines the type of #fault that forms, and we usually categorize different ways: #tension , #compression, and #shear. Handily, these three senses of stress also correlate with the three types of #plate #boundaries. Tensional stress happens at #divergent plate boundaries where two plates are moving away from each other. Compressive stress happens at #convergent plate boundaries where two plates move toward each other. Shear stress is experienced at #transform boundaries where two plates are sliding past each other. #GeologyHere #Note https://www.instagram.com/p/COZ_qssBh7Y/?igshid=1npv67ptmvu58 1.0K views09:43
