Disclosing the temperature of columnar jointing in lavas

Disclosing the temperature of columnar jointing in lavas

Columnar joints in lavas form during cooling, but the temperature this occurs at is unclear. Here, the authors perform thermo-mechanical experiments on basaltic rocks to examine the temperature of columnar joints in lavas and find that failure occurs at 890–840 °C, which is below the solidus tempera...
