>> No shift from liquid to solid occurs. The deformation takes place at the atomic bond level. Also, this can't explain why rock can bend in tension also. << What happens on the atomic level. If the atomic bonds are changed how does the composition of the material stay the same or are you saying it unbonds and then rebonds back? Any crystalline structure would also be lost. All from just pressure and tension?
