The third one is shear stress. It is seen on the transform boundaries, unlike tension which is found at divergent boundaries and compression found at convergent boundaries. What this means is that whenever you see a strike slip fault type of a mountain, you know that it was made by shear stress. Another common thing found is elongated rock veins, often seen with quartz.
