[Geology] When columnar jointing and mudcracking occur, they form in patterns of polygons; why do they form like this, rather than just haphazardously breaking?
I know that when minerals break, they break along cleavage planes and that minerals are identified by this. However, I don't see how volcanic columnar jointing or mudcracking could be influenced by similar means, but both appear to conform to relatively similar polygons.
