Compression of rock is when external forces push or squeeze the rock, causing it to decrease in volume. Expansion, on the other hand, is when the rock expands or swells due to changes in temperature or pressure.
When sediments are squeezed together due to pressure, it forms sedimentary rock through the process of lithification. This involves compaction and cementation of the sediments under pressure, which ultimately leads to the formation of solid rock.
After repeated compression and expansion, air will experience temperature changes due to the compression and expansion processes. This can lead to the air losing some of its energy as heat, resulting in a decrease in temperature. Additionally, the repeated compression and expansion can also lead to some loss of air pressure over time.
The force that changes a rock's shape or volume is called stress. This can occur due to factors such as compression, tension, or shear forces acting on the rock.
Evacuation, intake, compression, expansion.
The breaking of a rock due to constant expansion and contraction is called thermal weathering. This process occurs when rocks are subjected to temperature fluctuations, causing them to expand when heated and contract when cooled. Over time, these repeated cycles can create stress within the rock, leading to cracks and eventual fragmentation.

The particles that spread farther apart after the compression of a wave passing through air are called rarefactions. These regions of lower particle density are a result of the alternating compression and expansion of air particles as the wave travels through the medium.
Sedimentary rock families formed from the compression of sediments are called lithified sedimentary rocks. These rocks are classified based on their composition, texture, and the process through which they were formed. Examples include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Expansion contribute to the dilution of gas.Compression involve an increase of concentration.
When rock layers are deformed into folds or ripples, it is called deformation or folding. This can occur due to tectonic forces, such as compression or extension, causing the rocks to bend and deform.
The squeezing together of rocks by stress is called compression. In scientific terms Compression is when a force called stress pushes rock/squeezes rock together until it folds or breaks.
That would be "sedimentary rock". Sedimentary rock is formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments, including fragments of igneous rock that have been weathered and eroded.
