A volcanic neck is a cylindrical mesa composed of basaltic rock and protruding from the surrounding terrain. A volcanic neck forms inside a volcano when the heat and pressure from below are reduced so that the magma inside the volcano's vent solidifies. Over a period of a few hundred thousand years, the surrounding softer earth erodes away, leaving the volcanic neck standing alone.

What type of landform can be created when magma hardens in a volcanoes pipe?
Volcanic Neck The surrounding rock weathers more easily than the magma in the pipe. The resultant structure will first appear as a low flat protrusion which is slightly elevated from its surroundings. With additional weathering of the surrounding rock, the hardened magma may appear as a tower with possible basaltic columnar structure known as a volcanic plug or volcanic neck.
