Inselberg

An inselberg or monadnock /məˈnædnɒk/ is an isolated rock hill, knob, ridge, or small mountain that rises abruptly from a gently sloping or virtually level surrounding plain.

In southern and south-central Africa, a similar formation of granite is known as a koppie, an Afrikaans word ("little head") from the Dutch word kopje.

If the inselberg is dome-shaped and formed from granite or gneiss, it can also be called a bornhardt, though not all bornhardts are inselbergs.

Definitions

The word inselberg is German for "island mountain"; the name was coined by geologist Wilhelm Bornhardt (1864–1946) in 1900 to describe the abundance of such features found in southern Africa. At that time, the term applied only to arid landscape features. However, the term inselberg has since been used to describe a broader geography and range of rock features, leading to confusion about the precise definition of the term. In a 1973 study examining the use of the term, one researcher found that the term had been used for features in savannah climates 40% of the time, arid or semi-arid climates 32% of the time, humid-subtropical and arctic 12% of the time, and 6% each in humid-tropical and Mediterranean climates. As recently as 1972, the term has been defined as "steep-sided isolated hills rising relatively abruptly above gently sloping ground". This definition includes such features as buttes; conical hills with rectilinear sides typically found in arid regions; regolith-covered concave-convex hills; rock crests over regolith slopes; rock domes with near vertical sides; tors (koppies) formed of large boulders but with solid rock cores. Thus, the terms monadnock and inselberg may not perfectly match, though some authors have explicitly argued these terms are in fact completely synonymous.

Monadnock Lifetime Products

Monadnock Lifetime Products, Inc. is a weapons manufacturer providing equipment to law enforcement and private security companies. Monadnock is well known for several models of police baton they produce. The company is one of several subsidiaries under Safariland, LLC

Company products

Monadnock manufactures several types of police baton, including long polycarbonate riot sticks, side-handle nightsticks (the most famous being the PR-24), and both friction-locking and mechanically locking telescoping batons.

Monadnock's "AutoLock" line of batons are somewhat unique in the industry. Unlike the friction-lock type made by ASP, Inc. and other manufacturers, AutoLocks lock into their extended position via a ball-bearing mechanism. They can be deployed via inertia or simply pulled open with both hands. They are collapsed by pressing a button located in the pommel, rather than being struck on a hard surface.

Other services

In addition to creating products for public service and personal defense, Monadnock also offers certification programs for the personnel most likely to use them. The most well-known certification program is the Monadnock Defensive Tactics System (MDTS), created by Lee Anderson of Louisiana. Since its initial founding, MDTS has evolved and therefore appears different from department to department or teacher to teacher. Originally, it was based upon aikido, since that art is most famous for restraining people with arm-locks and takedowns that use the opponent's own energy against him; this would be similar to the Japanese system of keijutsukai, which also has roots in aikido. Many police instructors, however, have modified the training of the original MDTS system so that it may be taught much like jujutsu or kickboxing. Most recent versions look much like Jeet Kune Do, with elements drawn from Tony Blauer's SPEAR System and MMA ground-fighting.

Monadnock (ACM-14)

Monadnock (ACM-14) was originally built as an M1 mine planter for the U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps, Mine Planter Service as USAMP Major Samuel Ringgold (MP 11) by the Marietta Manufacturing Co., Point Pleasant, WV and delivered to the Army December 1942. The ship was named for Samuel Ringgold (1796–1846), an officer noted as the "Father of Modern Artillery" that fell in the Mexican-American War.

The mine planter was transferred to the U.S. Navy in March 1951 to become an Auxiliary Minelayer (ACM / MMA) under naval designation. She was then berthed at Boston as a unit of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet. While in the Reserve Fleet, she was redesignated MMA-14, 7 February 1955, and named Monadnock, 1 May 1955; the second ACM to bear this name. The ship was never commissioned and thus never bore the "USS" prefix. Monadnock was struck from the Navy list on 1 July 1960 and sold to commercial interests. In commercial service the ship was named Thiti, Amazonia and eventually Dear operating into the 1980s under Italian registry.

    Interpretive Rangers, Kelsey Johnson and Rachael Esh offer tips for your next hiking adventure on Mount Monadnock. To hike safely, you should have sturdy hiking boots, a waterproof jacket or windbreaker, and a sweater. Remember, the higher the elevation, the colder, windier, and wetter the weather. Warmer gear is needed during fall, winter, and spring. Be sure to carry drinking water, a first aid kit, and a flashlight in your pack, as well as an emergency supply of foods such as cheese, chocolate, raisins, or other high-energy snacks.

  • What is Peneplain and Monadnock: Peneplain/Monadnock

    A peneplain is a low-relief plain which is formed as a result of stream erosion. It is produced by fluvial erosion that would occur, in the course of geologic time. Peneplains are sometimes associated with the cycle of erosion also. The term "peneplain" refers to an area that resembles a plain. It is created by river erosion and continues until all of the elevated sections are eroded. When a peneplain is raised, it becomes a Plateau. A Monadnock is an isolated mountain representing an erosional residual peak or knob. Monadnock" is formed from the exposure of a harder rock as a result of the erosion of a softer one once surrounding it. Some time Monadnocks also called "Inselberg.

A peneplain is a low-relief plain which is formed as a result of stream erosion. It is produced by fluvial erosion that would occur, in the course of geologic time. Peneplains are sometimes associated with the cycle of erosion also. The term "peneplain" refers to an area that resembles a plain. It is created by river erosion and continues until all of the elevated sections are eroded. When a peneplain is raised, it becomes a Plateau. A Monadnock is an isolated mountain representing an erosional residual peak or knob. Monadnock" is formed from the exposure of a harder rock as a result of the erosion of a softer one once surrounding it. Some time Monadnocks also called "Inselberg.

Inselberg

An inselberg or monadnock /məˈnædnɒk/ is an isolated rock hill, knob, ridge, or small mountain that rises abruptly from a gently sloping or virtually level surrounding plain.

In southern and south-central Africa, a similar formation of granite is known as a koppie, an Afrikaans word ("little head") from the Dutch word kopje.

If the inselberg is dome-shaped and formed from granite or gneiss, it can also be called a bornhardt, though not all bornhardts are inselbergs.

Definitions

The word inselberg is German for "island mountain"; the name was coined by geologist Wilhelm Bornhardt (1864–1946) in 1900 to describe the abundance of such features found in southern Africa. At that time, the term applied only to arid landscape features. However, the term inselberg has since been used to describe a broader geography and range of rock features, leading to confusion about the precise definition of the term. In a 1973 study examining the use of the term, one researcher found that the term had been used for features in savannah climates 40% of the time, arid or semi-arid climates 32% of the time, humid-subtropical and arctic 12% of the time, and 6% each in humid-tropical and Mediterranean climates. As recently as 1972, the term has been defined as "steep-sided isolated hills rising relatively abruptly above gently sloping ground". This definition includes such features as buttes; conical hills with rectilinear sides typically found in arid regions; regolith-covered concave-convex hills; rock crests over regolith slopes; rock domes with near vertical sides; tors (koppies) formed of large boulders but with solid rock cores. Thus, the terms monadnock and inselberg may not perfectly match, though some authors have explicitly argued these terms are in fact completely synonymous.
