What type of weathering is illustrated by the cracks in the simulated granite outcrop below? - correct answer C. Pressure release. Explanation: Granite forms from the cooling of molten magma deep below Earth's surface. As granite is uplifted, layers of rock above are eroded away, which reduces the pressure on the granite. The release of pressure causes the outer layers of rock to expand and form cracks called "exfoliation joints" parallel to t...
