울산 강동동 화암마을 주상절리

주상절리(柱狀節理, columnar jointing)란 주로 현무암질 용암류에 나타나는 기둥모양의 수직절리로서 다각형(보통은 4∼6각형)이며, 두꺼운 용암(약 섭씨 1100도)이 화구로부터 흘러나와 급격히 식으면서 발생하는 수축작용의 결과로서 형성된다.   울산을 둘러보고자 검색하던 중 이곳를 보고 한번 찾아가보았읍니다. 규모는 커진 않지만 자연 형상이 신비로웠읍니다. <img src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/cafe/110C3B044B9AEE2E96" class="tx-daum-image" id="A_110C3B044B9AEE2E96E436"/>   <img src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/cafe/120C3B044B9AEE2E97" class="tx-daum-image" id="A_120C3B044B9AEE2E9701C9"/>   <img src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/cafe/130C3B044B9AEE3098" class="tx-daum-image" id="A_130C3B044B9AEE30988657"/>   <img src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/cafe/180C3B044B9AEE258D" class="tx-daum-image" id="A_180C3B044B9AEE258D01FA"/>   <img src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/cafe/200C3B044B9AEE268E" class="tx-daum-image" id="A_200C3B044B9AEE268EC4CA"/>   <img src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/cafe/120C3B044B9AEE278F" class="tx-daum-image" id="A_120C3B044B9AEE278F492E"/>   <img src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/cafe/120C3B044B9AEE2890" class="tx-daum-image" id="A_120C3B044B9AEE28902741"/>   <img src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/cafe/140C3B044B9AEE2991" class="tx-daum-image" id="A_140C3B044B9AEE2991FAB7"/>   <img src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/cafe/170C3B044B9AEE2C94" class="tx-daum-image" id="A_170C3B044B9AEE2C942768"/>   <img src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/cafe/190C3B044B9AEE2D95" class="tx-daum-image" id="A_190C3B044B9AEE2D95051F"/>   <img src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/cafe/170C3B044B9AEE349B" class="tx-daum-image" id="A_170C3B044B9AEE349BB7A7"/>
