The formation of polygon patterns in the development of crack networks
in cooling basalt flows and similar contracting systems, and under
natural conditions in an essentially unbounded basalt flow, are
analyzed, and the characteristics of hexagonal and pentagonal patterns
in isotropic stress fields are discussed.
