Faulting and folding (also known as brittle and ductile deformation).
Please see the related links.
Rocks deform through brittle deformation, which results in the formation of faults and fractures, and ductile deformation, which involves the bending and flowing of rocks under high temperature and pressure conditions.

rocks deform due to stress that bends the rock into different shapes and sizes.
Yes, that is the idea.
Rocks can deform under confining stress, but the amount of deformation depends on factors such as the type of rock, temperature, pressure, and time. In general, rocks are more likely to deform under higher temperatures and pressures. If the confining stress is higher than the rock's strength, it may deform or fail.
As rocks undergo stress, two things that change are their shape and their volume. The rocks may deform and change their shape based on the type of stress applied, while their volume may also change as the rocks compress or expand under pressure.

Physical and Chemical
Yes, increased temperature can make rocks more likely to deform because it causes minerals within the rock to become softer and more malleable. This allows the rock to bend and flow more easily under stress. However, extreme temperatures can also cause rocks to fracture rather than deform.
Rocks are classified into two main groups based on how they are formed: igneous rocks, which are formed from cooling and solidifying magma or lava, and sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments.
When the tension (stress) is great enough, they will fracture or deform.
