Answer:

The answer would be stress

A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume is stress. Stress adds energy to the rock. The energy is stored in the rock until it changes shape or breaks. Three different kinds of stress can occur in the crust—tension, compression, and shearing.

I hope this helps
