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.
