d off in sheets much like how one might peel layers from an onion. This process occurs because these rocks formed at ~20–25 km depth, but have experienced a removal of confining pressure because they are now exposed at the surface What is this process called?

This process where the sheets might peel off like an onion is called exfoliation.

Rock exfoliation can be described as a process that occurs causing sheets of rocks to be peeled from the surface of a rock. The process is also describes as Onion skin weathering.

Pressure release that happens during erosion could also be responsible for this happening. Curved plates of rocks would be stripped from underneath.

How does altitude impact atmospheric pressure? As altitude decreases, atmospheric pressure decreases As altitude increases, atmo
Tasya [4]

Answer: As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure P is defined as the force F per unit area S the air that forms the atmosphere exerts on the Earth's surface:

P=\frac{F}{S}

It should be noted that as the altitude increases less air is above and, therefore the air weights less. This is because the atmosphere losses density as we ascend, causing less air.

However, it is important to point out this decrease in pressure is not linear, since at the beginning (in the first kilometers above sea level) it reduces more rapidly than in the next kilometers above. That is why this relationship between atmospheric pressure and altitude is exponential.
