Weathering Processes Explained
Discover how rocks are shaped by the forces of nature through thermal stress, which causes cracks due to temperature fluctuations, and pressure release, leading to the fascinating phenomenon of exfoliation. Additionally, learn about salt weathering, where growing salt crystals exert pressure on rocks, resulting in splintering. Each mechanism highlights the dynamic and often surprising ways that physical weathering transforms our landscape.In this clip
