Question

How are buttes formed?
I need this in a paragrapgh


Thank you!

Answer 1

Formation. Buttes form by weathering and erosion when hard caprock overlies a layer of less resistant rock that is eventually worn away. The harder rock on top of the butte resists erosion. The caprock provides protection for the less resistant rock below from wind abrasion which leaves it standing isolated

Answer 2

Buttes re created through an erosion process, it’s when a captock overlies a layer of a less resistant rock. The harder rock on the top of butte resists erosion and the captock provides protection for the less distant rock. Buttes are pretty tall, flat topped, and steep sided.
