Inselbergs in the desert are formed through a process called differential weathering, where softer surrounding rock erodes over time, leaving behind a more resistant rocky outcrop. These rocky outcrops then become exposed due to further erosion from wind and water, creating the characteristic isolated hill-like formations seen in desert landscapes.
