Rock structures (folds and faults) are created by the stresses that deform the rocks. Write a one-page explanation of how the various stresses in a rock result in the various folds and faults.

For each category, describe how the plates/rock move in comparison to each other and what the commonly associated stressor is (remember that stressors and strains are different). (8 points)
