has gloss | eng: A tessellated pavement is a rare erosional feature formed in flat sedimentary rock formations that lay on some ocean shores. The pavement bears this name because the rock has fractured into regular rectangular blocks that resemble tiles, or tessellations. The cracks (or joints) were formed when the rock fractured through the action of stress on the Earth's crust and subsequently, were modified by sand and wave action. |
