Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Corrosion occurs when water gradually dissolves a rock due to its chemical composition. This typically occurs with rocks that contain minerals that easily dissolve, such as limestone. Abrasion involves the physical wearing down of a rock through friction, quarrying involves the removal of rock by man-made activities, and exfoliation involves the peeling away of layers of a rock due to pressure changes.
