Ring dike
Type of intrusive igneous body / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A ring dike or ring dyke is an intrusive igneous body that is circular, oval or arcuate in plan and has steep contacts.[1] While the widths of ring dikes differ, they can be up to several thousand meters.[2] The most commonly accepted method of ring dike formation is directly related to collapse calderas.[3]
