Have you ever heard of rocks that have been circling the minds of scientists for decades as they slide out of place?
Yes, that's right you can now become known as a Lord of the Rings in Death Valley National Park, California.
In one of the driest lakes in the world, this happens in the dry bottom of a lake, also known as Race Track Playa. You can also explore the lines formed.
The dry surface of the race track These lifeless rocks slide on their own, forming a track behind them.
These rocks sometimes weigh more than 200 kilograms and can move more than 15 feet a minute, often moving a thousand miles from their place.
But the most amazing thing is that no human has ever seen these rocks move, that is, he has not seen them with his own eyes.
However, he was caught moving in 2014 with the help of time lapse photography and at that time the possible cause of this amazing puzzle came to light.
It is very difficult to catch these rocks with your own eyes because it happens only under certain circumstances.
In 2014, two scientists reported that many times these heavy and large rocks slide into a thin but transparent layer of ice on sunny days, which they called ice show.
Scientist James Norris said on the occasion that we were amazed to see that in a place in the world where there is an average of only 2 inches of rain a year, the rocks slide as they usually do in the Arctic region. ۔
They made the discovery by accident. They were checking the movement of the rocks, but they saw the rocks moving in December when they went to check their time-lapse cameras there.
He saw 60 rocks sliding slowly.
These rocks are often lifeless and even when they slide, the process lasts only a few minutes, which is why most people did not notice it at first.
According to representatives of Death Valley National Park, this mysterious movement takes place in winter when it rains here.
He said that after the rains, a thin layer of very slippery ice forms on the race track, while strong winds cause heavy rocks to move on the surface and leave the track behind on the dirt.
He added that if there is not enough rain in the area, the rocks will remain in place for another year and since Death Valley is a very dry place, it is very difficult to catch the rocks in motion.
By the way, this can be tried by going there during December to February, but don't forget to check the rain forecast first, but it will still not be possible to see the rocks, although their tracks will be visible.
NASA also explained the mystery of this place on the occasion of a picture of the day.
With this picture, NASA wrote, "How did such a big rock finally reach this strange place?"
According to NASA, the bottom of this dry lake is almost an ideal spot and there are a few large boulders.
The statement said that the movement of these rocks is enchanting but now it is not a scientific mystery.
But it is now known that this happens as a result of the formation of a thin layer of ice in winter, and strong winds move heavy rocks on this part of the ice when the sun melts the ice.
That is, snow and wind seem to solve the problem.
