Process by which new rock is made from old rock; rock cycle
The rock cycle is a recycling process by which igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks are produced, converted from one form to another and destroyed. The rock cycle is a continuous process that has been occurring throughout the history of the earth. The major processes of the rock cycle include sedimentation, crystallization, metamorphism and erosion.
The sediments that is composed of mineral grains that are
eroded from the continental rocks is called terrigenous. The terrigenous
sediments are obtained from the erosion of rocks that occurs on land and that
they are being stored in the submarine canyons.
Yes , they are also very clean

“As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier (more dense) cool air pushes under the lighter (less dense) warm air, causing it to rise up into the troposphere. ... As the cold front passes, winds become gusty. There is a sudden drop in temperature, and also heavy rain, sometimes with hail, thunder, and lightning.”
Answer:
Option C. Is used to cool the drill bit and to flush rock cuttings up and out of the drill hole
Explanation:
Drill mud plays a vital role in the drilling process. Its addition into the well-bore does a lot in enhancing the drilling processes and activities.
Among other importance and function of the drill mud /fluid:
1. It is used to cool off the drill bit
2. It flushes rock cuttings out of the drill hole
3. High pressure control
4. Providing buoyancy
5. Lubrication
