Over time, rocks weather due to the influence of wind, water, ice, and daily and seasonal temperature differences. These weathering products form then short the pedosphere (the ground), go into solution in water (chemistry), are transported as dust, and similar processes. Long term, but they rearrange stable, lithify and form sedimentary rocks, are transported into the deep, and after transformation (metamorphosis) reveal pushed back ...

The in the Middle Ages and in the following Renaissance well-known different procedures were first described in detail by Georg Agricola 1556 in his book "De Re Metallica Libri XII".

Basaltsäulen sind erkaltete und erstarrte basaltische Lava. Die Erscheinungsform dieser erkalteten basaltischen Lava ist hauptsächlich von zwei Faktoren abhängig. Eruptierte Lava kühlt recht schnell aus zu einem zusammenhängenden Gesteinsgefüge, das je nach Temperatur und Gasgehalt als Pahoehoe-Lava oder als Aa-Lava erstarrt. Findet die Abkühlung jedoch verzögert statt, entstehen durch Kontraktion (Schrumpfung) nicht selten meterlange polygonale Basaltsäulen ... Ein Beitrag von Peter Seroka |
