"Fairy
chimneys" were formed when lava covering the tuff (consolidated volcanic ash)
gave way along preexisting cracks of sloping areas and became isolated
pinnacles. "Fairy chimneys," which can attain a height of up to forty meters,
have conical shapes and consist of caps of harder rock resting on pillars of
softer rock.
A "fairy chimney" exists until
the neck of the cone erodes and its protective cap falls off. The subsequent
disintegration of the remaining pinnacle continues until it is completely
leveled down.
