Foliation and rock cleavage were examined in Chapter 8; this chapter is devoted to the other major structural features of Earth's crust and the tectonic forces that pro- duce them.
When plates collide, Earth's crust is generally shortened horizontally and thickened vertically.
By contrast, at transform fault boundaries, such as the San Andreas Fault, shear stress causes large seg- ments of Earth's crust to slip horizontally past one another.
To answer this question, geologists performed experiments in which they subjected rocks to differen- tial stress under conditions experienced at various depths within Earth's crust.
Where tem- peratures are high (deep in Earth's crust), rocks tend
