Bornhardts and exfoliation domes are the textbook inselberg landform, an isolated dome of crystalline rock left standing as the softer rock around it weathers away, exposed by sheet after sheet of rock peeling from the surface in a process called exfoliation.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonDefining ProcessWell-attestedA bornhardt is a dome-shaped, steep-sided, bald rock outcropping at least 30 metres (100 ft) in height and several hundred metres in width. 1Browse ByAll Granite Domes and BornhardtsGranite Domes and Bornhardts39 entriesGranite Domes and BornhardtsFilter Results39 entriesFormed By (Process)AllErosion (1)Glaciation (2)Orogeny (16)Weathering (8)DisciplineAllGeology (1)Geomorphology (30)Formation TypeAllGranite Domes and Bornhardts (39)Protected StatusAllLocally or Regionally Protected (7)National Monument or Landmark (4)National Park or Reserve (14)UNESCO World Heritage Site (3)WhereAllAustralia (9)Brazil (2)Colombia (2)Eswatini (1)Malawi (1)Malaysia (1)Mali (1)Mauritania (1)Mozambique (4)Namibia (2)Nigeria (1)Norway (1)South Africa (1)Sri Lanka (2)Sweden (1)United States (10)Venezuela (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 39Bald RockInselbergs and Crystalline MonolithsBen AmeraInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksBoyagin RockInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksBrandberg MountainInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksDundretInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksEl Peñón de GuatapéInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksEnchanted RockInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksGranite Mountain, TexasInselbergs and Crystalline MonolithsHalf DomeInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksIndependence RockInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths1 linkKokerbin RockInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksLembert DomeInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksLiberty CapInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksMoro RockInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksMount AugustusInselbergs and Crystalline MonolithsMount ConnerInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksMount HomboriInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksMount InagoInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths1 linkMount LedangInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksMount LicoInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksMount MeculaInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksMount MulanjeInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths1 linkMount NamuliInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksMount WudinnaInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksMurphy's HaystacksInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksNorth Dome, YosemiteInselbergs and Crystalline MonolithsPaarl RockInselbergs and Crystalline MonolithsPedra Azul (Espirito Santo)Inselbergs and Crystalline MonolithsPidurangala RockInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksPiedra del CocuyInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksPreikestolenInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksRemarkable RocksInselbergs and Crystalline MonolithsSentinel DomeInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksSibebe RockInselbergs and Crystalline MonolithsSpitzkoppeInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksThicketty MountainInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksUluruInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksYapahuwaInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths1 linkZuma RockInselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths2 linksSources1.
