Volcanic neck

Japanese: 火山岩頸 - かざんがんけい
Volcanic neck

A type of volcanic landform. The magma that filled the vent of a volcano later cooled and solidified, forming an igneous rock body that remains after the surrounding area has been removed by weathering and erosion, protruding in an almost cylindrical shape. Also called a plug. It is made of lava, pyroclastic material, or both. The slab-shaped one is a dike.

[Akira Suwa and Setsya Nakata]
