"La "Gorge basalte d'Awan" est située dans la vallée de la rivière Azat, en aval de la ville de Garni, à environ 30 km à l'est d'Erevan. Le basalte est généralement gris foncé à noir. Puisque le basalte se forme volcaniquement, il se compose pour la plupart d'une matrice à grains fins en raison du refroidissement rapide. Si le refroidissement de la lave a lieu avec un délai, la contraction se traduit souvent par des colonnes de basalte angulaires (basalte cylindrique) d'une longueur d'un mètre perpendiculaires à la surface de refroidissement, de préférence avec une géométrie hexagonale.." - Photo & image de stock

"The ""Basalt Gorge of Awan"" is located in the valley of the Azat River below the town of Garni about 30 km east of Yerevan. Basalt is usually dark gray to black. Since the basalt arises volcanically, it consists for the most part of a fine-grained matrix due to the rapid cooling. If the cooling of the lava takes place with a delay, the contraction often results in meter-long angular basalt columns (columnar basalt) that are perpendicular to the cooling surface, preferably with a hexagonal geometry."
