A process by which rock deforms like a rubber band being stretched is called?

The force causing the change in the shape of rock is called stress. The change of shape in the rock is called strain. If the stress does not cause a permanent change in the shape of rock, it is called elastic deformation. If the change is permanent, it is called plastic deformation.

erosion and it is quite similar to how sand was made because of the waves and all the earth's damage on it. Pretty simple if you think of it that way. a rock can erode if it is continuously pelted with water, wind, sand, rocks, etc. also a rock can change shape if it is melted and cools back down.
