It causes tensional stress.
The type of stress that causes rocks to pull apart is a tension stress. It is the major type of stress found in divergent plate boundaries.

Folding is caused by compressional stress.
tension is the type of stress that causes the crust to become thinner.
shifting of the earth's crust causes earthquakes
a convergent boundary causes compression
Convection (rising air), orographic uplift/forced convection (air up a mountain), frontal uplift (front), and convergence uplift (air masses converge)
Compressional Stress
Earthquakes or erosion
