• “If the seasonal narrative is constructed across a series of episodically discrete narratives, each with their own architecture of tensional disruption, there is no reason not to view each discrete episode -- or the isolated narrative of any novel, story or movie -- as similarly constructed across a series of episodically discrete lower-level narratives.”

• “Once one side of that dysfunctional relationship faltered, the other would be left without the tensional juice to keep up the old destructive balance.”

• “The later two stages of this model involve tectonic convergence of crustal plates which provides the compressional and tensional stresses that produce rock deformation, uplift, and faulting.”

• “This isostatic rebound causes vertical uplift and the tensional forces due to the movement of the crust creates normal and graben faults.”

  Mountain

• “This process also causes tensional forces to exist in a horizontal direction breaking the continental crust into a number of blocks.”

  Mountain

• “Each block moves vertically to compensate for the tensional forces producing normal and graben faults.”

  Mountain

• “The increasing thickness of the water pulls the rock grains apart with great tensional stress.”

• “A graben fault is produced when tensional stresses result in the subsidence of a block of rock.”

  Folding and faulting in the Earth's crust

• “Normal faults occur when tensional forces act in opposite directions and cause one slab of the rock to be displaced up and the other slab down (Figure 9).”
