I'm afraid you're right...Plastic deformation, then.

Or permanent strain (deformation) without rupture.

At mantle temps and pressures, silicate crystalline rocks deform at a molecular level by changes in the crystal lattice structure.

In the upper mantle, ultra-mylonitic shear zones have been recognized using geopyhsics.

I'll try to be more precise in the future! :-)
