This defect centres around the dislocation line that is defined along the end of the extra half plane of atoms. The line perpendicular to the plane of page and below the half plane at B is called the dislocation line. The displacement distance of atoms around the dislocation is called Burger Vector b. This is perpendicular to the dislocation line. The atoms above the dislocation line are squeezed together and below are pulled apart. The magnitude of distortion decreases as the distance from\u00a0 dislocation line increases.\u00a0 (a) Perfect crystal lattice without dislocation Extra half plane Dislocation line is perpendicular to the plane of the paper at B (b) Crystal lattice with an edge dislocation Fig. : Edge Dislocation When slip is such that extra half plane is at top of the crystal, then it is called positive edge dislocations.

Hence glide motion and climb motion are not defined.
