Explanation

Inselbergs are isolated rock hills or mountains that rise abruptly from a flat, surrounding plain. They are typically formed in hot, dry regions through differential weathering - where harder rock resists erosion while softer surrounding material wears away. The term comes from German meaning 'island mountain'. Examples include Uluru in Australia and Sugarloaf Mountain in Brazil.
