Information
PUT A PLUG IN IT!
The sticky trachyte lava sometimes slowed inside the vents where it cooled and hardened into a solid plug, just like a cork in a bottle.
Dillies Knob is a typical volcanic plug.
The resistant trachyte plug now juts out of the collar of the softer basalt rock, which has slowly washed away.
