Check out the first one or two chapters of a good structural geology or seismology textbook and you’ll find the derivation of the elastic stress tensor. Read further and, while you might find some application of the total tensor; more typically the tensor is quickly reduced to principal stresses. Then, the principal stresses get reduced even more to their components referenced to local earth coordinates.
