Compression, shear, and tension are three types of stress that act on layers of rock. Explain the results that each type of stress can have on layers of rock. Include a discussion of whether each result happens slowly or quickly.

Compression squeezes rocks together, causing rocks to fold or fracture (break) (figure 1). ... Rocks under tension lengthen or break apart. Tension is the major type of stress at divergent plate boundaries. When forces are parallel but moving in opposite directions, the stress is called shear
