1. Uplift: This is the process where the Earth's crust is pushed upward. This can happen due to tectonic plate movement, volcanic activity, or even the weight of glaciers. Uplift brings buried rock closer to the surface.
2. Erosion: This is the process of wearing away and transporting rock and soil by natural forces like wind, water, and ice. Erosion removes the overlying layers of rock and soil, gradually exposing the buried rock beneath.
These two processes work together. Uplift brings the rock closer to the surface, making it more vulnerable to erosion. Erosion then removes the overlying material, eventually revealing the buried rock.
