Stress
It is the adjustment to stress which could result into a change in volume or shape or could even lead to breaking.
Strain
It is the type of strain where flexibility of rock units are displayed by going back to their original shape after they are freed from stress.
Elastic Strain
It is the state of gravitational equilibrium between the Earth's lithosphere and asthenosphere.
Isostasy Theory
A type of stress which results from the sliding motion of two plates which pass one another.
Shear Stress
It occurs when the Earth's crust sinks or move relatively lower
Subsidence Movement
It has both strike slip and dip slip components.
Oblique Slip
It is curving of layered bedrocks where there is an application of stress
Folding
It results when there is a fracture in the continuity of a rock formation.
Faulting
