These are examples of the rock cycle.

Explanation:

The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes the transformations through geological time, among the three main types of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous. Each type of rock is altered or destroyed when it is forced out of equilibrium. Due to the forces of movement of the tectonic plates, subduction zone, and the water cycle, the rocks do not remain in balance and are forced to change as they adapt to new environments. The rock cycle is a concept that explains how the three types of rocks are related to each other, and the processes of change throughout the geological evolution of the planet Earth.
