When a rock is buried deep within the Earth, it is primarily subjected to processes like heat and pressure rather than erosion, which typically occurs at the surface due to weathering by wind, water, and ice. Instead of being eroded, buried rocks can undergo metamorphism, altering their mineral composition and texture. Erosion mainly affects surface rocks, while those deep underground are transformed through geologic processes.
