		Similar joints occur in thick beds of sandstone and gneiss, with the sheets resembling the structure of a sliced onion.
		The prismatic joints of the Palisades of New Jersey and Devil’s Tower, Wyoming, are examples of joints caused by contraction during the cooling of fine-grained igneous rock masses.
		In some cases, jointing of the rock may result from the action of the same forces that cause folds and faults.

	Structural geology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		More formally stated it is the branch of geology that deals with the geological processes through which the application of a force results in the transformation of a shape, arrangement or internal fabric of the rock into another shape, arrangement or internal fabric.
		Structural fabrics and defects such as faults, folds, foliations and joints are internal weaknesses of rocks which may affect the stability of human engineered structures such as dams, road cuts, open pit mines and underground mines or road tunnels.
		On a large scale, structural geology is the study of the three dimensional relationships of stratigraphic units to one another within terranes of rock or within geological regions.

	joint - Search Results - MSN Encarta
		Joints (anatomy), in anatomy, regions of union between bones or cartilages in the skeleton.
		Fault (geology), crack in the crust of the earth along which there has been movement of the rocks on either side of the crack.
		Because each joint is a relatively weak spot in a track, design engineers have reduced the number of joints by lengthening the rails.
