This Mystery Rocks! By Cyntha Schlagel
The Drifting Rocks are a strange phenomenon still unexplained by science. Located in Death Valley,
California, the rocks sit on hot, flat ground. Unlike normal rocks, they have trails etched behind them as if
they have traveled across the sand. "Some trails are only a few feet. Some trails are over a half a mile
long. Each trail is as baffling as the next.
The variety of rock movement has baffled scientists for decades. Some rocks seem to roll as they move
forward. Some take unexplainable routes. 10Large ones have traveled past small ones that have stayed
still. 11 Some scientists suggest that the rocks are pushed by wind. 12Others believe they slide on small
amounts of ice or mud. So far, research has not confirmed any theory.
