- n. In botany, any malformation or abnormal growth due to the attack of some parasite.
- n. In geology, the process whereby, under the influence of strains (usually compressive), individual strata, masses of rock, or larger portions of the earth's crust suffer change of form, as when massive rocks become schistose, flat strata are folded, or mountain-ranges are upheaved.

“The problem was, this is what we call deformation zone.”
“Using InSAR and GPS data, scientists are able to measure and monitor where and how stress changes in the crust as well as how any associated deformation is distributed.”
“By adding boring grooves, T/C barrels provide more consistent velocities and a snug fit where bullet deformation is less likely.”
“The resistance to flow under plastic deformation is called its viscoplasticity.”
“To say that deformation is simply another name for selection minimizes the radical scale of its intervention.”
“At an earlier stage, however, the activity can be started, as with a sense organ, by mechanical deformation, and it ceases when the deformation is over.”
“I was picturing shorter term deformation measurements like those used in volcano monitoring.”
“Until the unfortunate reform - one should call it "deformation" - many converts found their way to the Church via the liturgy.”
