Question

Name the following: Unequal heating causes expansion in rocks resulting in breakdown of rocks. ______

Answer 1

Exfoliation.

The first type of weathering is exfoliation, also called unloading, which is when the outer layers of rock break away from the rest of the rock.

Answer 2

Answer:

Unloading or release of stress in a rock that produces expansion joints can cause exfoliation. A reduction in stress occurs when rocks previously buried deeply are exposed due to erosion of overlying rocks, or when ice sheets that bury rocks melt.
