The document defines stress and strain in rocks. It explains that stress can be compressive, tensional, or shear as a result of plates moving or pressing against each other. Strain is the adjustment rocks undergo due to stress, which can result in changes to volume, shape, or fracturing. There are three types of strain: elastic, where rocks return to their original shape after stress; plastic, where rocks are permanently deformed after stress; and fracture, where rocks break or crack.
