[edit] Need for article

Do we really need an article on compression that is specific to geology? I don't see how it differs from the usage in physics or engineering, apart from the fact that we use a different sign convention of course. Mikenorton (talk) 17:29, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Further to that, I think that Strength of materials has everything you would need to understand the concept. Mikenorton (talk) 19:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
