Most mesas become inselbergs in their final stage of erosion.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mesas and inselbergs are distinct landforms; mesas are flat-topped hills with steep sides, often formed in areas with horizontal layers of hard rock, while inselbergs are isolated rock hills or mountains that rise abruptly from a more gently sloping or virtually level surrounding plain, often resulting from the erosion of surrounding softer rocks. Mesas do not typically become inselbergs; instead, they may erode further into smaller landforms such as buttes.
