Columnar jointing: Places, Physics & Overview

Columnar jointing is a geological structure where sets of intersecting closely spaced fractures, referred to as joints, result in the formation of a regular array of polygonal prisms, or columns. Columnar jointing occurs in many types of igneous rocks (e.g. basalt, andesite, rhyolite, tuff), and forms as the rock cools and contracts. Columnar jointing…
