1. Tensional stress (or extensional stress), which stretches rock;

2. Compressional stress, which squeezes rock; and

3. Shear stress, which result in slippage and translation.

Answer:

fracturing that is a ductile deformation.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The ductile deformations are characterized by the extreme force of the pressures and the strains that are applied to the rocks when they are pressurized and overburdened by the ricks and that they act as compressive force that has led to the formation of the formation if a mountain systems, as a result, the body squeeze in shape and the rock behaves plastically.
