Question: What is the ethnic composition of Belgium?
Answer: Physical weathering processes create exfoliation domes and tors.
Exfoliation domes are enormous, smooth, spherical domes that occur when rocks are unloaded and expand.
Exfoliated tors are smooth-surfaced, spherical rocks that range in size from small to large. Temperature fluctuations and expansion in rocks cause them to form.
The main points of difference between the two are:
Exfoliation Domes | Exfoliated Tors |
Exfoliation domes are generated when rocks expand as a result of temperature changes. | Exfoliated tors are created as a result of rock expansion and unloading. |
Exfoliation domes are large, smooth, spherical domes. | Boulders with exfoliated tors range in size from large to small. |
