In a volcano's pipe, magma can solidify and form a structure known as a volcanic neck or plug. Over time, erosion and weathering can wear away the surrounding rock, exposing this hardened magma. The volcanic neck is often more resistant to erosion than the surrounding material, leading to its prominent elevation once the softer rock has been removed. Examples include prominent formations like Shiprock in New Mexico.

What forms when magma hardens in a pipe and is later exposed?

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.
