Because nature is always in motion, and the very slow process of the rock cycle never truly grinds to a halt. Therefore, it is a cycle - the seeming end is but only the beginning.
It is called the Rock Cycle.
the rock cycle and the Colorado river are driving forces behind.
The rock cycle can recycle rocks from melting and giving pressures to sediments.
Erosion transports weathered material from all three rock types in the rock cycle to a point of deposition where it can lithify into sedimentary rock.
I don't want to answer the question I just want thwe answer
The rock cycle is the process through which rocks change from one type to another. This process includes melting, metamorphism, uplift, weathering, and burial. Metamorphism is specifically the change of pre-existing rock into new rock through pressure and temperature.
The ultimate source of energy that drives the process in the rock cycle is the Earth's internal heat, mainly generated by the radioactive decay of elements in the Earth's mantle and core. This heat creates convection currents that drive plate tectonics, which in turn generates uplift of rocks through volcanic activity and mountain-building processes. This uplift promotes erosion by external forces like wind, water, and ice, leading to the breakdown and transportation of rock material in the rock cycle.
There really is no trigger; it's a process that involves tectonics and its associated plate subductions, uplift, and volcanism, along with weathering, erosion, and lithification of sediments.
James Hutton was a geologist and naturalist who was against the theory of evolution. He proposed that the process of uplift replenishes the rock on the Earth's surface.
uplift
Uplift
Geologic uplift increases the exposure of phosphorus-containing rocks to weathering processes, releasing phosphorus into the environment. The weathering of these rocks creates phosphorus-rich minerals that can be carried by water and deposited in marine or terrestrial environments, where they can be utilized by organisms and participate in the phosphorus cycle.
If a rock is subjected to uplift, it may undergo weathering and erosion, leading to deposition and formation of sedimentary rock. Alternatively, it could be subjected to heat and pressure, metamorphosing into metamorphic rock.

The rock formations being uplifted tend to fracture, fault and tilt.
