In arid or dry climates like deserts, the sun heats up rocks in the day. So the rock expands. At night it cools down so the rock contracts. The constant expanding and contracting weakens the rock and over time the outer layer peels of, hence this process is known as onion skin erosion or exfoliation.

What is the biggest cause of erosion?
The biggest cause of erosion is wind and water.
Can a rock cause a erosion?
No, sand, wind, and water can cause erosion.
Can valleys cause erosion?
A valley itself cannot cause erosion, but can be hugely affected by erosion. Usually Valley erosion is caused by glaciers, a common agent of erosion.

Is splash erosion more powerful than gully rill and wave erosion?
When the sun heated the soil surface and soil does not have any water. when rain drops hit the surface of soil it cause the soil eroded.
