Compression is a stress state that acts to decrease the size / volume of an object. As such any force resulting in pressure or stress that acts to "squash" the crust is compression.
This commonly occurs at convergent plate boundaries were one tectonic plate is colliding with another.
Compression acts to decrease the volume of a material. The Earth's crust is an elastic brittle solid. So initially a compressive stress will cause a recoverable reduction in volume of the crust (this is known as elastic strain). It the stress continues to increase, there will be a small degree of plastic (unrecoverable) deformation until the strength of the crust is exceeded. At this point either a fracture will form creating a new fault or as the earth's crust is already significantly fractured and faulted, it is more likely that movement will occur along a pre-existing fault.
I would suggest that you research on "seismic compression and earthquakes".
It Is When The Earthquake Make The Ground Push Against Each Other
Earths compression is when the Earth's plates push together which breaks the Earth's rocks.
Yes, Compression can thicken the earths crust and tension can cause thinning in the earths crust.
compression
Compression is a force that changes Earth's crust by squeezing rock until it folds or breaks.
it is the movement of the earths crust. it moves inwards towards other plates so the earths crust moves upwards therefore forming mountains, volcanoes etc
When layers of rock bend downward, the resulting fold is a syncline.

Mountain ranges are what is formed by compression in the earths crust. The Himalayas, the Alps, and the California Coast Range are three examples of landforms produced by compression.

Compression Stress Tension Stress Shearing Stress
The Earth's orbit is almost circular. Technically, the "eccentricity" of the orbit is about 0.0167.

In stuctural geology, an anticline is a fold that is convex up or to the youngest beds.
Mostly Volcanic activity and Earthquakes
qualitative or quantitative. earths interior geology water cycle rock cycle describe ring of fire earths boundries.... convergent,transform, divergent types of stress, tension, shearing, and compression that's pretty much it
