What is the onion skin weathering?
Common in exposed granite, it is the exfoliation of the outer layer of the rock due to differences in temperature between the surface and the interior of the rock which eventually leads to fracturing. This happens when a rock is repeatedly heated and cooled. As it is heated , the outer layer of the rock expands slightly and as it cools the rock contracts. Continual expansion and contraction causes small pieces of the rocks surface to peel off just like a skin of an onion Onion skin weathering can also occur from the dissolution of feldspars in granite rock by acidic rainfall, which creates clay minerals. The outer layer of a chemically weathered granitic rock can become crumbly and slough off in layers, typical of onion skin weathering.
