An isolated free standing column of rock near the coast is called a stack.
It sounds like you are describing a sea stack, which is a geological landform formed by the erosion of a headland or cliff by the sea, leaving a tall, isolated rock pillar near the coastline. Sea stacks are typically composed of resistant rock material that withstands the erosive forces of the ocean.
It called a tor. I too was doing the newspaper crossword!
Weathering can weaken the cliff by breaking down rock particles, making it more susceptible to mass movement. Mass movement, such as landslides or rockfalls, can cause the cliff to erode rapidly, leading to increased coastal retreat and potential hazards for those living near the coastline. Over time, a combination of weathering and mass movement can alter the coastline's shape and stability.
The portion of the land mass that extends into the ocean is called the coastline or shoreline.
Weathering can weaken the rock face of a cliffed coastline through processes like freeze-thaw, chemical weathering, and biological activity, accelerating erosion. Mass movement, such as landslides, can result from this weakening, causing rapid removal of larger volumes of material and reshaping the coastline. Together, weathering and mass movement contribute to the gradual retreat and alteration of cliffed coastlines over time.
They're called "stacks," as in "Haystack Rock" off the Oregon coast.

In an isolated system, the total mass remains constant and does not change.

An isolated and distinct mass of stars is a galaxy.
In an isolated system, mass is conserved. This means that the total mass of the system remains constant before and after any processes or interactions that take place within the system. Mass cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted into different forms.
It appears to be a typographical error. The correct spelling is "peninsula," which refers to a piece of land that is surrounded by water on three sides. Peninsulas often have coastline and can be large or small in size.

It is a mountain.
becomes the mass of clouds.....
