I have the impression that the two terms are quasi-synomous (perhaps regional variants) -- if you google Schollen, among the hits are a couple where 'Scholle' is used in the sense of plate in a map of continental plates.
IMO an English-speaking expert would probably speak of 'flaking and exfoliation' (which are also quasi-synonymous).

Oops, sorry, the image hits are Dutch (but the word is a cognate).
