What is the definition of reverse fault? A fault along the Earth's crust is identified by the corresponding type of stress that caused its formation. In geology, a stress is defined as the amount of force exerted on a unit of surface area. Generally, shear stress forms transform faults, compressive stress creates reverse faults and tensional stress produces normal faults.
The negative effects of stress. When you perceive a crisisâ-or think a stressful thoughtâ-your brain secretes corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH). This master stress hormone triggers the release of glucocorticoid stress hormones, such as cortisol. Stimulated by glucocorticoids and other stress hormones (like adrenaline), the brain and body shift into crisis mode. Your breathing and pulse quicken, making more oxygen available to your muscles.
