What is difference between exfoliation domes and exfoliated tors? |
|
Answer» Exfoliation domes are large and SMOOTH rounded domes formed due to UNLOADING and expansion of rocks. In this process, overlying ROCK load is removed due to continuous erosion and as a result there is a release of vertical PRESSURE. ... Such exfoliation leads to formation of tors in rocks like granites. |
