I don't get what it is?What's an exfoliation dome. What's an example of one?
exfoliation dome: a dome-shaped hill typically with a bare rock surface, typically developed in massive coarse-grained rocks (like granites) by the process of exfoliation. Other exfoliation domes include Stone Mountain, Georgia and Independence Rock, Wyoming. Half Dome in Yosemite is apparently half on an exfoliation dome (hence the name); one side appears to have been sheared away by a glacier.
