Dents formed in the surface of rocky objects when they are hit?

The dents formed in the surface of rocky objects when they are hit are a result of the impact force causing deformation in the material. This deformation occurs because the force of the impact exceeds the material's strength, causing it to bend or dent rather than break. Over time, repeated impacts can lead to the accumulation of dents and overall alteration of the object's shape.
