Answer 2

The statement is an example of exfoliation.

• Weathering usually entails the gradual disintegration or gradual deterioration of solid rock due to significant changes in normal temperature and weather and their profound effect on rock structure.
• Sudden temperature change typically creates fissures in the composed rocks through which water penetrates.
• It does so to stimulate chemical weathering due to changes in temperature peels from the topmost rock layer along with instant contraction and expansion.
