Exfoliation occurs within rocks of uniform structures mainly in arid and semi-arid areas.
-During the day, temperatures are high and the rocks are heated on the surface and the inner part is cooler making the rock surface to expand.
-During the night, temperatures are lower and the rocks will cool and contract on the surface.
-Continued expansion and contraction makes the rock surface to develop cracks which will finally break and peels off in cured sheets, this is exfoliation.
