		$Devil's Postpile, a spectacular example of columnar basalt. Once molten and under great pressure underground, the lava that makes up Devil's Postpile cooled evenly and slowly, contracting and fracturing into polygonal-sided columns. The age of the formation is estimated between 100 and 700 thousand years old. Sometime after the basalt columns formed, a glacier passed over the formation, cutting and polishing the tops of the columns. The columns have from three to seven sides, varying because of differences in how quickly portions of the lava cooled, Devils Postpile National Monument, California$
Nevada Falls marks where the Merced River plummets almost 600 through a joint in the Little Yosemite Valley, shooting out from a sheer granite cliff and then down to a boulder pile far below.

Cracks and joints arise when water freezes and expands repeatedly, braking apart the soft sandstone. Photograph of Joint.

Geometric joints and cracks form in eroding sandstone. Joint Photos. Image ID: 20610 Location: North Coyote Buttes, Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, Arizona, USA	Sandstone joints. These cracks and joints are formed in the sandstone by water that seeps into spaces and is then frozen at night, expanding and cracking the sandstone into geometric forms. Joint Image.
