PLZ HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLEST IF THE ANSWER IS CORRECT -_-| |>﹏< What are two examples of figurative language in these lines? What does each mean?

This rare form, called beryllium-10, is created when
cosmic rays from space hit the rock and split apart larger
atoms of oxygen and nitrogen. You might say that when this
happens, the rock is getting sunburned. As long as the rock
is sitting out in the open, the cosmic rays are hitting it and
beryllium-10 is forming in the outer 2 or so centimeters of
the rock. But while the rock is buried underground—before
running water chews it out of the desert floor—it’s shaded
from cosmic rays, so no beryllium-10 develops.

Line one :  You might say that when this happens, the rock is getting sunburned

Line two: before running water chews it out of the desert floor—it’s shaded

Explanation: Both of these are forms of figurative language. These lines each use different words to help explain the meaning. When the lines say "the rock is getting sunburned" and "water chews it out" That's not what is actually happening, instead this is so  that you can use these as an example or comparison to help you fully understand what's actually happening.  

Hope it helps :)

explanation:

b the manazanar relocation center was located in california. it was used to keep japanise from spying on america.

the reasons for the harsh treatment, is because japan used tourist to take pictures and snapshots of pearl harbor.

many americans were afraid that the japanise would betray them for their mother country. through and means necessary. this means that, the leadership in japan is a lot different than it is here. culture and family ties has much to do with their outlook and worldview.

wheres the options? i dont think this can be solved with out the options
