Answer 1

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, while burial subjects deeper rocks to increased heat and pressure, which can lead to metamorphism or the formation of magma.
