Deformation is a change in the shape and volume of a rock, deformation is produced when a rock experiences a stress that is greater than the strength of the rock.
Deformation of materials (called strain) is a response to forces acting on those materials (called stress).
Anelastic deformation is a type of deformation in materials where they exhibit some degree of recovery after the stress is removed, similar to elastic deformation. However, anelastic deformation involves some permanent rearrangement of the material's structure, causing it to not return completely to its original shape. This behavior is typically seen in materials like polymers and some metals.
There are generally three main types of deformation: elastic, plastic, and brittle. Elastic deformation occurs when a material returns to its original shape after the stress is removed. Plastic deformation involves a permanent change in shape due to applied stress, while brittle deformation leads to fracture without significant deformation. Each type responds differently to stress and strain depending on the material properties and environmental conditions.
In an elastic deformation, the object will return to its original shape afterwards (like tapping your arm softly with a needle, without piercing the skin). In a plastic deformation the object will first undergo elastic deformation, but then undergo a deformation that changes the shape of the material. (like tapping your arm with a needle that pierces through the skin and leaves a small wound).
The deformation would increase because the force increases.
When a force causes an object to change its shape, it is known as deformation. This can occur either temporarily (elastic deformation) or permanently (plastic deformation) depending on the material properties and the applied force.
Sometimes deformation can be cause by the mother drinking, smoking or falling on their stomach when the mother is still pregnant.
Mechanical energy (that causes the elastic deformation).
Deformation of materials (called strain) is a response to forces acting on those materials (called stress).
Elastic deformation is caused by applied forces. It is also when solids are either twisted or pull and then return to its normal shape.
When deformation causes the lithosphere to break, faults can form. Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred, resulting in the displacement of rock layers. These fractures can range in size from small fissures to large fault lines and are associated with earthquakes and other tectonic activity.

Any time stress causes rocks to change, deformation occurs.
