説明

<p>Numerous tors of andesite are found on the somma of Aso caldera, Kyushu, Japan. Many of them are very strongly magnetized as can be detected easily by a geologic compass. Such strongly magnetized rocks, namely lodestones, are presumed to have been formed by the effect of lightning strike. Weathering pits are found on some of the top surfaces of the lodestone tors. According to the recent reports, there are examples of lightning strikes which damaged constructions of granite and concrete. Also, pits on runways formed by lightning strikes have been reported from some airports. Judging from the destructive power of lightning strikes, it is highly probable that pits are formed on rock surfaces by lightning strikes. Thus, it is interpreted, from these, that the weathering pits on the lodestones started from initial depressions formed by lightning strikes.</p>
