This video presents a mechanism of ductile deformation by diffusion of vacancies within crystals.
There are other mechanisms of ductile deformation (dislocation creep for instance), but the principles are similar: ductile deformation produces shear zones with a continuous deformation, unlike faults. The mechanism is presented at the atomic scale, mineral scale and rock scale.
