TOR

A tor is a large, free-standing residual mass (rock outcrop) that rises abruptly from the surrounding smooth and gentle slopes of a rounded hill summit or ridge crest. (Elephant rocks in Missouri are a classic example of tors)

Tors may develop in a range of different rock types including granite, volcanic rocks metamorphic rocks or hard sedimentary rocks such as quartzite and sandstone. Tors are mostly less than 16 feet high. Formation processes and ages vary widely across different climates, elevations, and rock types.
