In the past, people called that area a graveyard. Today, it is more common to call the burial area a cemetery.

One piece of a cemetery is a grave or a grave plot, meaning a plot of ground with a set size that is sold as a plot for burial purposes. A person or family can buy one or more plots in a cemetery. Most people who buy 2 or more plots buy them side by side as a family plot.

Rocks buried deep underground must do what before they are weathered or eroded?

Rocks buried deep underground must be uplifted to the surface before they can be weathered or eroded. This uplift can happen through tectonic movements, erosion of overlying rocks, or other geological processes that bring the rocks closer to the Earth's surface. Once at the surface, rocks are exposed to weathering processes such as wind, water, and ice that break them down over time.
