A layer of smooth cartilage at their ends, which cushions the bones and prevents them from rubbing directly against one another. The whole joint is also enclosed in a synovial capsule, which is full of synovial fluid. The synovial fluid acts like the oil in an engine, lubricating the joint and preventing the cartilage from becoming worn down.

Which process could cause a metamorphic rock to return to the surface of Earth to be worn down again? Please explain.
fenix001 [56]
This happens due to geologic uplift and the erosion of the rock and soil above them. At the surface, metamorphic rocks will be exposed to weathering processes and may break down into sediment. These sediments could then be compressed to form sedimentary rocks, which would start the entire cycle anew.
