Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Exfoliation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Exfoliation involves the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skin’s outermost surface. Exfoliation is involved in all facials, during microdermabrasion or chemical peels. It is not a chemical weathering.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are four main types of weathering. These are freeze-thaw, onion skin (exfoliation), chemical and biological weathering. Most rocks are very hard.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hydration is a form of chemical weathering in which the chemical bonds of the mineral are changed as it interacts with water. One instance of hydration occurs as the mineral anhydrite reacts with groundwater.
