Which weathering process involves the peeling of rock layers due to temperature variations?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Exfoliation
Explanation: • Exfoliation causes outer rock layers to peel off. • Occurs due to repeated heating and cooling. • Results in curved layers or sheets. • Common in arid and semi-arid regions. • Mechanical weathering process.
Information Booster: • Seen in granitic domes (e.g., Yosemite).
Additional Knowledge: (a) Frost action → Freezing/expansion of water. (c) Solution → Chemical weathering by water. (d) Oxidation → Chemical reaction with oxygen.
