If I'm not wrong sentence two " You might say that when this

Explanation:
In this sentence: "You might say that when this
happens, the rock is getting sunburned." a rock cannot get sunburned so it's using personification giving human things to non-humans.
and in this sentence: 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." It shows personification because it says "before running water chews it out of the desert floor" and we know that water can't chew.
