Yes, it is.
It is deformation
Shape of rock also changes because of stress. It causes the rock to change its shape. When a lot of pressure applies it causes the rock to change its shape.

Stress deformation.
The change in the shape of rocks in response to stress is known as deformation. When rocks are subjected to stress, they can undergo elastic, ductile, or brittle deformation, depending on factors like temperature, pressure, and the type of rock. Elastic deformation allows rocks to return to their original shape once the stress is removed, while ductile deformation involves a permanent change in shape without breaking. Brittle deformation leads to fractures and faulting when the stress exceeds the rock's strength.
Deformation is a change in the shape or size of a material due to stress or strain. It can be caused by external forces such as pressure, tension, or shearing forces acting on the material, leading to a rearrangement of its atomic structure. Deformation can result in a temporary change (elastic deformation) or a permanent change (plastic deformation) in the material.
The process by which the shape of a rock changes in response to stress is called deformation. This can result in folding, faulting, or fracturing of the rock.
A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume called stress. Tension is the stress that sketched rock so that is becomes thinner in the middle.
The force causing the change in the shape of rock is called stress. The change of shape in the rock is called strain. If the stress does not cause a permanent change in the shape of rock, it is called elastic deformation. If the change is permanent, it is called plastic deformation.
This is technically known as strain. If the change in shape occurs by fractures forming through the rock this is known as a brittle deformation. If however the rock deforms like a piece of clay being squashed this is known as ductile deformation.
The rock is undergoing elastic deformation, where it is able to return to its original shape once the stress is removed. This is because the forces applied are below the rock's yield strength, preventing any permanent change in shape.
