Compression-is an internal force the pushes particles together
Like when you lay down on a mattress and the springs compress
Torsion-when an object is twisted
ice skaters
Shear-when something pulls in the opposite direction
Scissors use shear force
Tension-a pull force that stretches things apart
an elastic band being pulled
