Rocks are weakening due to alternate expansion and contraction of the rocks. Rocks are expanded when it undergoes the high temperature, then it becomes expanded due to distance between the particles which are distant to each other. If winter season comes, rocks undergoes the low temperature then it becomes contracted due to distance between the particles are close to each other. Exfoliation is the one type of mechanical weathering and Halocasty is the one of the physical weathering process.

Which of the following statements is NOT true? Atmospheric circulation patterns keep the temperature of an area constant.
Papessa [141]

The answer is; Atmospheric circulation patterns keep the temperature of an area constant.

The atmospheric circulation does not keep the temperatures in an area constant, however, they regulate temperatures through convection currents. Hot air rises as cold air mass sinks to replace the rising hot less dense air. These currents transfer energy around the globe and prevent one area from overheating.
