What type of landform is Uluru?
Uluru is the original, indigenous name for a unique landform in central Australia. Formerly known by its European name of Ayers Rock, it is the world's second largest monolith (the largest is Mount Augustus, in Western Australia, but not devoid of vegetation like Uluru). It is a bald knob of sandstone which rises out of the desert floor, yet what is visible is only one-eighth of the total: another seven-eighths lies beneath the desert soil.The correct term for this feature is inselberg, which refers to a bald rock that rises starkly above the surrounding plain. What is particularly interesting is the fact that it is joined underground to Kata Tjuta, a series of similarly bald hills (formerly known as The Olgas) about 40 km away. Uluru is sacred to the Australian indigenous peoples, and completely unique for its size, shape, surface and the way it appears to change colours with changes in atmospheric conditions. Uluru is about 318m high - taller than the Eiffel Tower - and has a circumference of about 8km.
