Two types of inselbergs are recognized in Eastern Mongolia: structural, that is created by block uplifts, and erosional ones (resulted from erosional dissection of plains). Inselbergs of the first type continue to rise and involve adjacent areas of plains. The second type is erosional remnants of mountains lowered and dissected by erosion. Landforms typical of each type of inselbergs are considered, including specific debris flows and sand flows. The flows were formed in the process of irregular uplifts, probably accompanied by seismic shocks and shaking.
