Some examples of rock pillars are Chambers Pillar, Katskhi pillar, Pompeys Pillar, and Pillar Rock. The Oxford Dictionary of Geography defines earth pillar as: "An upstanding, free column of soil that has been sheltered from erosion by a natural cap of stone on the top. They are common where boulder-rich moraines have been subject to gully erosion, as in parts of the southern Tyrol." A Hoodoo is another type of earth pillar. Examples of earth pillars are Awa Sand Pillars and Đavolja Varoš. (en)
