Evolving fracture patterns: columnar joints, mud cracks, and polygonal terrain [PDF]
, 2013 When cracks form in a thin contracting layer, they sequentially break the layer into smaller and smaller pieces. A rectilinear crack pattern encodes information about the order of crack formation, as later cracks tend to intersect with earlier cracks at ...
