The correct statement about uplifting and burial in the rock cycle is:

**Uplifting exposes rocks to erosion, while burial exposes rocks to heat and pressure.**

Uplifting brings rocks to the surface where they can be eroded by wind and water, while burial places rocks deeper within the Earth where they can undergo changes due to heat and pressure, leading to metamorphism.
