BROCK'S VOLCANOES
DEVILS TOWER
Volcano Facts:
- It's located in Wyoming, USA.
- It's a monolith or volcanic plug. A monolith is a geological feature such as a mountain, consisting of a single massive stone or rock. Erosion usually exposes these formations. A volcanic plug, also called a volcanic neck or lava neck, is a volcanic landform created when lava hardens within a vent on an active volcano.
- In Kiowa Indian mythology it was said that: Once upon a time seven little girls were playing in the woods far from home and they came upon some bears that chased after them. They found refuge on a great rock, that rose into sky with them on it, making them into stars. The bears tried to pursue them, but all their efforts were in vain. You can still see the struggle and their claw marks in the rock that makes up Devil's Tower.
Someday, I might become a vulcanologist!
