पर्याय

• Metamorphism

• Rock flow

• Rock cycle

• Compaction

Answer 1

Rock cycle

Explanation:

The rock cycle is the continuous process of transformation of old rocks into new ones. It describes how the three main types of rocks – igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic – are constantly changing from one form to another through processes like cooling, weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation, heat, and pressure. This natural cycle ensures that Earth’s crust is dynamic, with rocks continually being created, broken down, and reformed over geological time.
