is also a discontinuity where the rock can be eroded
easily because water and air can move more easily
and increase the rate of weathering. The joints can
intersect at different angles and can result in the
formation of unique tiny landscapes; for example,
chessboard rock is the product of the weathering of
two sets of perpendicular joints.
