***************
▶ 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. The word inselberg is a loan word from German, with the literal meaning of "island mountain". Monadnock is an originally Native American term for an isolated hill or a lone mountain that stands above the surrounding area, typically by surviving erosion.
— Wikipedia.

▶ Quartz monzonite or adamellite is a light-colored, coarse-grained igneous rock, in which quartz is present in significant amounts. Because of its coloring, it is often confused with granite, but, whereas granite contains more than 20% quartz, quartz monzonite is only 5–20% quartz.
