Quartz Plasticity

Quartz Plasticity is a mineral-scale deformation mechanism characterized by the capacity of quartz grains to undergo permanent shape change without fracturing, distinguished from brittle deformation by its reliance on intracrystalline slip and diffusion processes under elevated temperature and stress conditions.
