Question
Pictures Corner #1 and Corner #2 show chips missing from the corner of a curb, and from the edge of a road.
This is a curb in front of the Penn Stater. Notice that the corner has been chipped in several places (the light-colored places). This is the edge of Pastureview Road on the University Park Campus. You can see in the center where chunks of blacktop have broken off of the pavement (which is on your left). This is an old granite stone. Notice that a chip is missing from the corner. This is an old marble stone (1860, we believe, although hard to read the last digit). Notice that a chip is missing from the corner.

Based on what you know about the world, and what you can see in the pictures, the most likely explanation why corners lose more chips than faces is: Pieces on corners want to jump off, so they do. Erosion over time tends to make corners more-nearly square and less rounded. Pieces on corners can be hit from two sides, while the middle of a face can be hit from only one side; and, a piece on a corner isn't supported by as many neighbors as a piece on a face.Explanation / Answer
option c is the right answer .
option A doesn't make any sense
option B is wrong because infact the erosion over time tends to make the corners more-nearly rounded and less square
