Can rock undergo compression, tension, and shear stress all at once?

This causes reverse faults, which are the reverse of normal faults, because in this case, the hanging wall slides upward relative to the footwall. Shear stress is when rock slabs slide past each other horizontally. There is no vertical movement of either the hanging wall or footwall, and we get a strike-slip fault.
