Tension-a pull force that stretches things apart

an elastic band being pulled

Shear-when something pulls in the opposite direction

Scissors use shear force

Torsion-when an object is twisted

ice skaters

Compression-is an internal force the pushes particles together

Like when you lay down on a mattress and the springs compress
