位于澳大利亚西澳大利亚州内陆沙漠地区的奧古斯特山(英文:Mount Augustus)是世界最大的单体岩石。
把奧古斯特山断言为“世界最大的单体岩石”并不准确。地貌学与西澳官方公园资料都指出,奧古斯特山被称作“单体岩石”是常见但错误的说法,它更适合被描述为 inselberg/不对称背斜,而不是已被确认的“世界最大单体岩石”。
Full reasoning
这句话把一个有明确地质学争议、且被官方资料直接称为“误称”的说法,当成了确定事实。
可核查的依据包括:
-
西澳大利亚州官方公园资料明确写道:Mount Augustus is often — and mistakenly — referred to as a ... monolith,并进一步说明它实际上是 an ‘asymmetric anticline’。也就是说,官方解释页直接把“它是单体岩石(monolith)”视为常见但错误的称呼,而不是一个已确定的地质分类。

同行评审论文《Inselbergs and monoliths: A comparative review of two iconic Australian landforms, Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Burringurrah (Mount Augustus)》指出,围绕乌鲁鲁与奧古斯特山的“monolith”比较,会造成“不必要且无帮助”的比较;作者并明确表示,不倾向把“monolith”继续作为这类地貌的地貌学术语使用。这说明“奧古斯特山是世界最大的单体岩石”并不是地质学上稳固成立的表述。
因此,问题不只是“是否比乌鲁鲁更大”,而是奧古斯特山本身就不应被不加保留地定性为 monolith。在这种情况下,把它直接写成“世界最大的单体岩石”会误导读者,以为这是一个地质学上无争议、已被确认的事实。

Mount Augustus is often — and mistakenly — referred to as a monocline (one sided slope) or monolith (one rock)... Mount Augustus is in fact an ‘asymmetric anticline’ because of the arch-like shape it is folded into, which is composed of multiple rock types.

The term 'monolith' has been used to describe such a wide range of features involving so many criteria that we prefer not to use 'monolith' as a geomorphic term. In relation to the inselbergs described here, the use of the term 'monolith' has led to needless and unhelpful comparisons between these two remarkable landforms.
