when the lava cooled and became igneous rock. Basalt type from
the rate of lava shrinkage different Therefore, there is a
tensile force causing it to break apart and separate into a long
hexagonal column, similar to a row of stone pillars. Large size
approximately 30 cm.
When he was born These igneous columns
are either perpendicular to the direction of the lava flow or
vertical. Most of the time, lava flows along a nearly horizontal
line. But as time passed, there was shifting and the movement of
the earth's crust. As a result, the hexagonal rock layer is
tilted to different degrees and rises to appear as follows. that
