I am not 100% sure but it may be that the plates may move forming a new mountain or land mass
What is the responsible for the formation of exfoliation domes?
Granite forms plutonsof igneous rock several kilometers below the surface as magmaslowly cools and crystallizes. The granite is under great overhead pressure.Then, granite is uplifted to the surface during a mountain-building event. During the mountain building process, the overlying rock iseroded as the granite is uplifted, and the pressure on the granite reduced. The granite expands and forms fractures or sheet joints parallel to the surface. The granite then erodes in concentric layers (similar to how an onion peels) forming rounded masses called exfoliationdomes.

What is the origin of valcano?
Tectonic plates that make up the Earth's surface push together, forming a mountain. Magma that presides under the surface gradually eats a hole in the mountain, until it is a volcano. A volcano erupts when the pressure of the magma is too great, and the top explodes off the volcano.

What surfaces will a cow refuse to walk on?
Generally a rounded surface that they can't balance their hooves on. This is why entrances to certain ranches have a dug up hole topped with long, metal rods forming a surface with gaps. Crossable for humans and cars, but impassable for cows.
