Cap rock. Resistant cap rock will help protect softer rock below it from erosion. Any rock type that is more resistant to erosion than the rock type below it is called a cap rock. For instance, it could be basalt (igneous) overlying limestone (sedimentary), or limestone (sedimentary) over shale (also sedimentary).
An igneous rock is resistant to weathering and erosion because is is is made from magma. And magma rocks are really tough.
They are normally hard and durable, and resistant to weathering and erosion.

They are resistant to erosion because they are more hard. They are like a piece of cement or trying to sand down the concrete floor it just wont happen.Thank You for asking wiki :)
It is called erosion.
Carbonate rocks, such as limestone, tend to be the least resistant to weathering and erosion.
Erosion.
Differential erosion occurs when a geologic area was formed of both soft and weak rocks rocks, are harder, more resistant, rocks, weak rocks wear away first leaving behind knobs and cliffs of more resistant rocks.

Hoodoos, sea bridges, and caves are all examples of unique land formations that are created through natural erosion processes over long periods of time. They each showcase the power of water, wind, and other natural forces in shaping the Earth's surface.

Caprocks are more erosion resistant rocks overlying less erosion resistant ones. The caprock could therefore be any resistant rock type as long as it aids in preventing the erosion of the layer below it. Sandstone and basalt lava flow are typical caprock layers.
No. Nothing is resistant to erosion.
