Death valley, a desert where rocks move!
Mysteriously, rocks in Death Valley are known to move. The phenomenon is seen in a dry lakebed called the Racetrack Playa. Large rocks move across the flat surface, leaving long tracks behind them, likely due to a combination of wind, water, and ice.
However, the exact mechanisms behind this movement were not fully understood until recent studies suggested that a unique combination of ice sheets, wind, and occasional rain allows these rocks to slide across the playa.
Cheers!
