Question

how are inselbergs formed​

Answer 1

• An inselberg or monadnock is an isolated rock hill, knob, ridge, or small mountain that rises abruptly from a gently sloping or virtually level surrounding plain

• Inselbergs arise from rocks which erode at a slower rate than that of the surrounding rocks. The landform consists of an erosion-resistant rock which protects a softer rock such as limestone. The resistant rock remains isolated as ongoing erosion erodes the less resistant rock around it.

• Examples Uluru/Ayers Rock and the Olga Rocks (Kata Tjuta) in central Australia.
