Hindu Mythology says we live in a world which experienced destruction and rebirth many times. There will be a cataclysmic event called pralaya after the end of four yugas(approx. 4.32 million years) and our earth as we know it is destroyed and all life form is wiped out.

Time is not Linear in hindu thought, it doesn't start and end at a particular event, rather, it is Cyclical and never-ending. This eternal cycle of Life and Death; Birth and Re-birth; Formation and Dissolution is called the Kaal-chakra or the Wheel of Time.

The trinity gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva represent this wheel of Time. Brahma for Creation, Vishnu is preserver, Shiva the destroyer.

If I may add, there is no difference between the three. In fact when it's time for creation God becomes Brahma, for Preservation God becomes Vishnu and when it it's time to destroy and recreate God becomes Shiva.

Then, what will happen when every form of life is destroyed and the Earth is also destroyed?

Srishti and Pralaya
The cosmos follows one cycle within a framework of cycles. It may have been created and reach an end, but it represents only one turn in the perpetual kalachakra, "wheel of time", which revolves infinitely through successive cycles of manifestation and dissolution. Within this cycle of manifestation and dissolution of the universe, the atman (the Self) also undergoes its own version of cycle called samsara, the cycle of rebirth in which individual Self are repeatedly reincarnated.

For the srishti (creations) of anything three causes are required to be fulfilled: Material cause, instrumental cause and supporting cause. In Creation, Brahman is all of these three causes. He evolves Himself into Mulaprakriti or primordial matter.

There are two types of srishti (creations), samashti srishti, aggregate creation and vyashti srishti, individual creation — the creation of mahat out of prakriti, of ahankara and the 10 indriyas of knowledge and karma, of panchabhutas and subtle elements. All these are called aggregate creation. This is how the world or the universe was created. The further creation of human beings, animals, trees and plants is called individual creation.
