| deformation | process of rocks changing shape because of stress |
| folding | bending of rock layers due to stress fault |
| fault | the break in a large rock that then moves past one another |
| shear stress | stress that pushes rocks parallel but opposite direction from one another |
| tension | stress that results in stretching or pulling apart rock |
| compression | stress that results in squeezing or pushing rocks together |
| earthquake | sudden ground movements that are taking place because of an energy release |
| focus | the place along a fault where the first movement of an earthquake occurs |
| epicenter | location directly above an earthquake's focus |
| tectonicplateboundary | meeting place of two or more tectonic plates |
| elasticrebound | occurs when rocks return to it's original shape after deformation |
