What is the relationship between erosion and the process of exfoliation?

As overlying surface material is eroded, some pressure on underlying rocks is removed. This decrease in pressure on the body of rock allows the rock to expand. Sheets of rock may peel away from the main body of rock.

The process by which sheets of rock peel away when pressure is removed is called?
exfoliation!!
What is erosion of metal?

Explain the difference between erosion and deposition?
Glacial erosion is the process by which a glacial flows over the land, picking up rocks. Glacial deposition is the process by which a glacier gathers a huge amount of rock and soil as it Erodes the land in the path
The process of moving sediment from one place to another?
It is called erosion.
How is water running water the main process that shapes Earth's landscape?
This process is called erosion. Erosion is the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents
What is the relationship between erosions of surface material of rock and the process of exfoliation?
The Realationshipp is that they are very close

What is exfoliation in dentistry?
Exfoliation is the natural process of the loss of primary ("baby") teeth.
Which process squeezes fluids between individual grains?
Erosion
Which process is a form of mechanical weathering?
Abrasion
What is the process by which sheets of rock peel away when pressure is removed?
exfoliation that is the process
What is the process that breaks down Rock at Earth's surface called?
Denudational processes, which includes, weathering, erosion, deformation, and exfoliation. Mass movement also plays a great role in changing the earths surface.
What is the difference between transportation and erosion?
erosion is the process of wearing something away and transportation is the process of moving one thing along the river.
What process forms exfoliation domes?
The formation of an exfoliation dome begins with sheeting, when large masses of igneous rock, particularly, granite, are exposed by erosion, concentric slabs begin to break loose, this process occurs in part because of the great reduction in pressure when the overlying rock is eroded away, a process called unloading, and accompanying this unloading, the outer layers expand more than the rock below and thus separate from the rock body. Continued weathering eventually causes the slabs to separate and spall off, creating exfoliation domes.

What is the weathering process which led to the formation of tors?
The weathering process involved in the formation of tors is exfoliation (onion skin weathering). Exfoliation can be mechanical or chemical. Mechanically, exfoliation may be a result of the different expansion rates between exterior and interior layers. Chemically, the exterior of the rock can be chemically altered to minerals of higher volume, causing it to slough off from the rock to which it was formerly attached.
Which weathering process tends to form spherical boulders?
exfoliation
