Columnar joint morphology and cooling rate: A starch-water mixture experiment

An analogue experiment using a starch‐water mixture has been carried out in order to understand the effect of cooling rate on the morphological characteristics of a basalt columnar joint. If the contraction of material is essential for the formation of columnar joint structure, the water loss rate b...
