Mesas,buttes,and chimneys have which of these in common?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mesas, buttes, and chimneys are all landforms that form in flat-lying rocks. Mesas and buttes are formed from the erosion and weathering of sedimentary rocks, while chimneys are formed from volcanic activity. None of these landforms form exclusively in hot deserts or subtropical deserts, so options A and D are incorrect. Option B is partially correct, as mesas and buttes do form from caps of more resistant rock on top of softer rocks, but this doesn't apply to chimneys.
