Tension forces are two forces acting on one object, moving in opposite directions (away from one another) to stretch the object. Compression forces are two forces acting on one object, moving in opposite directions (towards one another) to compress or deform the object.

Compare the way that compression affects the crust to the way that tension affects the crust?
compression and tension are opposite. compression pushes the crust together but tension pulls it apart
List the three types of stress that occur in earth's crust?
the 3 kinds of stress are compression,tension, and shearing
What are some types of stress in rocks?
The three main types of stress in a rock are shearing, tension, and compression.
What are the three main types of stress in rock?
The three main types of stress in a rock are shearing, tension, and compression.
The type of stress force that produces a strike-slip fault is?
The type of force found in a strike slip fault is lateral force.
What are two types of elastic forces?
compression and tension Compression is a squeezing force, while tension is a pulling force.
Is tension and compression a force?
Yes.They are force.
What is tension and compression?
Tension and compression takes place when an object has a force on another object. The tension is when the force is causing a pulling effect on part of the object. The compression is when the force is causing a contracting effect on part of the object.
What type of forced are tension and compression?
elastic force
What does compression force and tension force have in common?
they are the same because they are elastic forces
Which of these is a type of drag force turbulence tension thrust and compression?
turbulence
Why are Arch bridges made of stone?
It's all about compression and tension. Compression is the force pushing in on an object. If you sit in a chair your weight is a compressive force on the chair. Tension is the force pulling on an object. If you hang from a rope your weight puts the rope in tension. Stone is very strong under compression but can break easily under tension. An arch bridge only has compression forces within it so stone is a good material for an arch bridge.
What forces act on the Tower Bridge of London?
First of all, the force of compression impacts the bridge. Also, the force of tension inmpacts the bridge because the more cars there are or any weight the bridge stretches which is tension. tthe force of gravity weighs the bridge down and that is why the bridge has to withstand that. Wind can affect the tower bridge because if there is a huriccane the bridge has to be able to stand without any damage.
Is there such a thing as negative tension?
Negative tension can be considered the same as compression. It depends on the orientation you define your force vectors.
How do compression and tension create motion?
tension streches it compression squeezes it
What condition that is the opposite of tension occurs when a force squeezes an object?
It is subject to compression.
What are 5 different types of internal forces?
Tension, Compression, Shear FOrce, Bending Moment and Torsion
