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 :)

i lokey dunno!

dickinson punctuation and lines in her poems to establish a rhythm. each reader will naturally find themselves reading the poem in the same way. she uses the repeating question marks and exclamation points to convey the passion in her words. shelley uses punctuation to paint a picture in the reader's mind. for example, the ellipses after "stand in the dessert" evoke a silence, as it would feel in a deserted, old place.
