Exfoliation is a type of:

  • A.Chemical Weathering
  • B.Soil Erosion
  • C.Physical Weathering
  • D.None of Above

Answer: C

Exfoliation is a form of physical weathering.

Repeated heating and cooling makes the outer layer of a rock expand and contract more than the interior, and successive shells peel away like the coats of an onion. It is common in deserts, where the daily temperature range is extreme, and no chemical change is involved.
