Here's a breakdown of how it formed:
* Sandstone Formation: Millions of years ago, the area that is now Table Mountain was covered by a vast, flat plain of sandstone.
* Uplift and Tilting: The land gradually rose, creating the mountain and tilting the sandstone layers.
* Erosion by Wind and Rain: Over time, wind and rain eroded the top layers of the sandstone, creating the flat plateau that gives Table Mountain its name.
So, while Table Mountain is a majestic mountain, it's not the result of volcanic activity.
