Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is exfoliation. Exfoliation is the process of peeling off outer layers of rock due to temperature changes. It occurs when rocks heat up during the day and contract at night when temperatures cool down. Over time, this repeated expansion and contraction can cause layers of rock to peel away and exfoliate.
