How many main causes cause mechanical weathering?
4 main causes cause mechanical weathering!
What type of weathering causes exfoliation?
Exfoliation is primarily caused by physical weathering processes such as thermal expansion and contraction, where daily and seasonal temperature changes cause rocks to expand and contract, leading to the outer layers of rock peeling off in sheets. This process is especially common in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations like deserts.
