Shearing in continuum alludes to the event of a shear strain, which is a distortion of a material substance in which parallel inner surfaces slide past each other. It is instigated by a shear worry in the material. It happens when the material is yielding. The way toward shearing a material may actuate a volumetric strain alongside the shear strain.

The force produced when rocks pull in opposite directions is called shearing. Convection currents in the mantle cause tectonic plates to move.Sometimes they slide past each other in opposite directions. This region is called a strike slip fault or transform plate boundary.
