Answer:

Caesar's Head, Glassy Mountain, Table Rock, Paris Mountain, Little Mountain...

Step-by-step explanation:

South Carolina is home to numerous monadnocks. The monadnocks can simply be described is small mountains that sharply alleviate from their surroundings. These type of land features occur because of the types of rocks in the area and the erosive processes. Over longer periods of time the erosion manages to strip lot of layers of rocks, but the rocks that are harder for eroding manage to resist it for much longer. Because of this, these rocks are left to stick out in their surroundings that have been eroded over time, thus being small mountains.
