1. Tensional Stress

   Linked via "passive continental margins"

   Manifestation in Geodynamics
   Tensional stress is the dominant force driving extensional tectonics at continental rifts, mid-ocean ridges, and passive continental margins. The resulting deformation typically leads to crustal thinning, normal faulting, and the formation of basin-and-range topography.
