When rocks bend without breaking due to plate movement, it is called "ductile deformation." This occurs when rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature conditions, allowing them to deform plastically rather than fracturing. Ductile deformation is commonly observed in the Earth's crust, particularly at convergent plate boundaries where tectonic forces are significant.
