  • Pillars and Stacks: Understanding Rock Formations After Arch Collapse
    The name for a column of rock left behind after an arch collapses is a pillar or stack.

    These formations are created when the top part of an arch erodes or collapses, leaving the supporting pillars standing. They are often found in coastal areas where waves erode the rock, but can also occur in other environments where weathering and erosion are active.
