Devil’s Tower is apparently not even a volcano according to science, but “but was injected between sedimentary rock layers and cooled underground. The characteristic furrowed columns are the result of contraction which occurred during the cooling of the magma.” source
Anyway, science can be wrong, assume everything is a volcano until proven otherwise. Devil’s Tower? Volcano. The hill outside your house? Volcano. Your dog? Believe it or not, volcano.
I know how it was formed; injection and then the surrounding landscape eroded away, but it’s a good shitpost
Oh, you “know”, eh? Sounds like we got a scientist over here, boys! Let’s get him!
(But seriously: I added that bit because I went and looked it up myself based on your post, and I thought it was interesting and other readers might also find it neat. One of those TIL things.)
Lmao that usually how it goes when I talk sciencey online. My background is in soils and surficial geology; though the latter is only though the lens of soil formation.
They got two things right: Science can be wrong sometimes. And you should Google petrified wood (it’s really pretty).
I’m getting xkcd vibes from this comment.
