Thursday, January 27, 2011. Map with Plate Boundaries, Shearing, Compression, Tension and Location of Major Faults Lines. So a quick introduction to all of these aspects of the earth's movement:. Shearing= Stress that pushes a mass of rock in the opposite direction. It can cause the rock to break and slip apart or change it's shape. Compression= The stress force called compression squeezes rock until it folds or breaks. One plate pushing against another is compression. Chile - Liquine-Ofqui Fault. In our...
