A monolith is a geological
feature consisting of a single massive stone
or rock, such as some mountains,
or a single piece of rock placed as, or within, a monument. Erosion
usually exposes the geological formations, which are most often made
of very hard and solid metamorphic
or igneous rock.
The word derives from the Latin
word monolithus from the Greek
word μονόλιθος (monolithos), derived from μόνος
("one" or "single") and λίθος ("stone").
