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 force that changes a rock's shape or volume is called stress. This can occur due to factors such as compression, tension, or shear forces acting on the rock.
Stress changes the shape or breaks (fractures) rocks whereas bending leads to folding
The bending, tilting, and breaking of Earth's crust, along with the change in the shape of rock in response to stress, is called deformation. This process occurs due to tectonic forces acting on the Earth's lithosphere, leading to various geological features such as faults, folds, and mountain ranges. Deformation can be elastic, ductile, or brittle, depending on the conditions and materials involved.
When rock changes its shape due to stress, this reaction is called deformation. Deformation can occur through various processes, including folding, faulting, and fracturing, depending on the type and intensity of the stress applied. The resulting changes can affect the rock's structure and properties, often leading to geological features like mountains or faults.

deformation
The process in which rocks change shape is called deformation. During deformation, rocks undergo changes in shape, volume, or orientation in response to stress. This can result in the formation of folds, faults, and other structural features in rocks.
When stress squeezes an object it is compression. When stress stretches an object it is called tension. The process by which the shape of a rock changes because of stress is called deformation.

Stress
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.

Cutting is a physical process.
