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.

This statement accurately reflects the processes involved in the rock cycle, where uplift brings rocks to the surface, making them susceptible to erosion, and burial subjects rocks to higher temperatures and pressures, potentially leading to metamorphism.
