Tectonic stress that squeezes rocks together,

• compression

• tension

• adhesion

• delusion

Which type of stress is primarily associated with transform plate boundaries?

• Compression

• Tension

• Shear

• Torsion

Describe the effect of shear stress on rock formations.

• Shear stress causes rocks to compress and thicken.

• Shear stress causes rocks to stretch and thin.

• Shear stress causes rocks to slide past each other.

• Shear stress causes rocks to melt and form magma.

Why is it important to consider stress when designing materials for airplanes?

• To ensure the airplane is colorful.

• To calculate the airplane's speed.

• To prevent material failure during flight.

• To make the airplane lightweight.
