Mysteriously from walking rocks

On the earth there are rocks that suddenly move away from where they have been for a long time. For example, in the state of California (USA), half-ton-heavy rocks have performed 'walks' at the bottom of Restrake's dry lake without any assistance.

Lake Restrake is located in the Nature Reserve in Death Valley, California. This is one of the hottest places on earth. In 1917, the temperature reached 50 degrees Celsius during 43 days. The rocks move slowly, sometimes zigzagging, crossing dozens of meters, leaving a clear mark on the sand. They do not roll, do not spin, but 'crawl' on the surface as if invisible force pulls away. Scientists have repeatedly sought to recognize their movement, but failed: People could not grasp the moment when the rocks 'traveled'. But just keep trackers away a bit, they start moving again - sometimes up to half a meter every hour. Scientists have been watching all day and night around the area, but not recognizing anyone or anything that helped them.

The strange thing with rocks is not just in America. Not far from Gorodishe village (near Pereslavl-Zalessk, Russia) is the Sin rock. According to legend, in this rock has the dream god and desire. At the beginning of the 17th century, the local church declared war on polytheism. Anufri's father, the deacon of the church, had dug a big hole to throw Sin's rock there. But a few years later, the rock became mysterious again. 150 years later, main q

Church in Pereslavl

Tuyen and the church in Pereslavl decided to put the mystical stone at the bottom of the local bell tower. People put a rock on a sledge and pulled it on the ice of Lake Plesheev. The ice broke and the rock sank to a depth of 5 meters. But soon, the fishermen began to notice the rock had changed positions. It slowly moves at the bottom of the lake. And 40 years later, he crawled up to the shore at the foot of Iarilin Mountain and lay there until now.

In the far eastern region of Russia, not far from Lake Bolon, there is a half-ton stone, almost round. It is called a dead rock by locals. However, he also likes to ' travel '. Normally it stays still for a few months, but sometimes it suddenly moves.

But the most mysterious rock is probably in Tibet, near a long-standing Buddhist institute. It is not simply 'going', but also 'climbing' gently up the mountain. Because this rock weighs 1,100 kg, its ability to 'climb' is miraculous. The journey to the top of the rock has lasted more than 1,000 years. It moves along a certain route: At first, it 'climbs' to a certain height, then crawls down. Finally, it moves in a circle. Its time of going up and down the mountain lasts about 15 years. Time to follow the circle, 60 km, takes 50 years. This rock is about 50 million years old.

Scientists for decades have sought to explain the mystery around the rocks. People make many theories, many of which are mysterious. Some researchers believe that moving rocks are representative of another life form. They conceive that life can be completely formed from silicon (the main part of stone). In addition, the legend of 'live stones' appears not by accident: Wheat growers in Northern Europe and the Baltic region have so far believed seriously that rocks are not only capable of moving. move, but also grow, because they often appear on the cleared fields.

There are also more scientific explanations of wandering rock. Some scientists think it is due to geomagnetic influences, because most of the wandering rocks often "live" in places with the strongest geomagnetic instability. However, it is not understood how large the geomagnetic field has been to resist the attractive school to bring massive rocks from one place to another.

Another theory is that the movement of rocks is due to the effects of rain and wind. The researchers confirmed that the reason the stones were moved was because they slipped on clay when pushed by the winds. However, in the case of Death Valley stones, this hypothesis proved helpless. Firstly, there is very little rain there. Second, the traces that the stones leave are often in contrary to the wind direction.

In 1995, a group of geologists in the state of Massachussets (USA), after extensive research in the Death Valley, came up with another theory. Accordingly, the main condition for the rock to move is the friction force that abruptly decreases. In the Death Valley there is often a very high day-night temperature difference, leading to the formation and accumulation of water: Water droplets at night settle on the rock surface and turn into ice. The ice surface was very slippery, so strong gusts of wind could break the rocks out of their lying and moving.
