Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uplift can occur at any stage after rocks have been buried, regardless of the specific processes (such as deformation, metamorphism, melting, or solidification) they have undergone. This is because uplift is primarily driven by tectonic forces that can act at various points in the rock cycle.
