Solution

The landform commonly formed as a result of exfoliation is called a “Tor,” which consists of smooth surfaced and rounded small and big boulders. Exfoliation involves the peeling off of outer rock layers in concentric sheets due to temperature-induced expansion and contraction, leading to the formation of these tors.
