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.
I'm no geologist, but wouldn't this "injection" still be a form of volcanic activity?
Forgive me if this is common knowledge and there is a well known geological definition of "volcanic activity" that excludes this process; I'm just a lowly chemist.
It's just the earth prairie doggin. That's why theres a whole town named for it right next to it.
It's produced by volcanic activity, but that doesn't make it a vulcano
A rounded rock is made by a flowing river, but that doesn't make the rock a river
The original meme just says "volcanic activity," which is what I was referring to. I get that it's not a volcano. I was just asking if injection is considered a form of volcanic activity.
I get that this is the Internet, but there no need to be a condescending prick.
No need to jump to conclusions either, it was not my intention to be rude it was just the best analogy i could come up with
The root comment (not post) was talking about vulcanoes and assuming everything is a vulcano
And so i thought that you were defending that idea, i was obviously mistaken
Fair enough, friend
Ahh volcanoes the most dangerous kind of canoes
They were originally called “full canoes”! Source: am not a historian
I can show you my volcano if you want
