Mystery of Death Valley's Moving Stones Solved

For decades, scientists have been trying to solve Death Valley's mystery of the "moving stones." Now, two scientists say they have figured out what makes the rocks move on the desert floor. WSJ's Monika Auger reports.

gaminghero109 thank you for posting this! You’re now my favorite person

[@jhondgolder1415]

Explanation is at 1:45-2:00 large sheets of thin ice afloat of a few inches of water are pushed by strong winds. The leading edge of this ice sheet is what contacts and pushes the rocks along. The rocks coefficient of friction is small as the playa underneath is flat slick mud. Depending on the leading edge width of the ice sheet a number of rocks are pushed simultaneously in same direction which accounts for parallel tracks (as at 0:51-:53). The direction and speed of the wind and total area of ice sheet direct the vector forces moving the rocks. I would surmise that to move a 700 lb. rock would take perhaps acres of ice sheet & strong steady winds. I use to survey near Death Valley the weather extremes there are amazing. We once had to abandon a survey job because the ground fog was so thick we lost sight of our line points only 10 yds away. (December)

[@FeelingShred]

I was thinking that, "so how much fucking ice would you need to push heavy stones??"... So, is it true after all? Seems weird to me because water can't go underneath a heavy rock, it would not nullify friction like that, and the force from the ice sheet would have to be enormous to really move anything, and 200ft??

[@David_Punzalan]

Everyone talking about the rocks, but I’m confused why there’s ice in Death Valley.

[@Jazzatic2011]

Only thing I can think of is how deserts tend to get extremely cold at night. Think it has to do with the open sky let’s the sunshine in the day to heat the place but all the heat escapes the area and the ground at night. Especially since there isn’t any trees to hold in or capture that heat and keep it from rising up into the air. Cool air sits lower and when your that low below sea level. Maybe ice just forms. Cool situation though.

[@mysterymaster180]

@@Jazzatic2011 you're right. It gets really cold there at night just as it's one of the hottest places on earth during day.

[@terrylong8465]

I can remember as a young punk kid in grade school discussing how these rocks moved. We came to the conclusion it was a combination of ice, water, and most importantly, wind. This was back in the late 60's. So, this is old news.

I was thinking the same..old news. Yes no doubt it’s cool, however there are numerous examples of ways in which water has and will continue to show mankind we are but mere mortals here on earth. To be honest, with where we have come in geology I’m surprised this is being labeled so dramatically, as if scientists have been frustrated for years about it! Seriously? Put a drone out and film..is it really that difficult? Have we all not seen Natgeo film some pretty cray stuff in really intense places?! If that is the case, and this is in fact fresh information that is going into “the books” after decades of questioning why-then im skeptical. Why make a big deal about it now, why the poor videos, why not have better reasoning for others questions in the comments here like (movement in summer & ice w/ larger stones .) Possibly something is trying to be hidden by regurgitation of science from decades ago making its way into pop culture now. A group of geologists simply rediscovered something old, and not well cataloged maybe? In todays online world they can market it as subject that has been years in question, as they market it on the internet as this, “oooohhh ..huge discovery years in the making? Maybe. Idk I looked this up because my taxi driver today brought it up to me, and was going on and on about the “sailing stones and how “scientists have finally figured out how they move”.” It sounded like something I had heard of before, but I hadn’t remembered anything called Sailing Stones. Here I am. It’s cool, and interesting no doubt! It simply doesn’t seem like a question that could never be answered until recently.

Generally rain fall will flow into the basin, and cold temps will cause it to freeze and wind picks up. It’s basically perfect weather phenomena.

Now that I see it, I feel dumb for never having considered it. It's such an obvious thing we should have hypothesized at some point considering it's happening on dry lake beds where it rains enough for standing water sometimes.

[@genevadavidson5696]

It took two years of waiting with high-tech cameras and gps devices attached to the rocks to finally see the phenomenon happen. Imagine if they just had a guy sit there looking at the stones every day. How long would it have taken for him to see it happen? Would anyone have believed him?

[@RainbowCandyGlow]

Them sliding on ice makes sense, however it doesn’t explain the movement in the summer where the rocks still move and no ice is present during those months. I don’t know why, I just know Mother Nature is pretty awesome!

[@davefoster6767]

There's ice in Death Valley in the summer.

[@christophermyers8157]

It still drops below freezing many times in the dead of summer because of the low humidity, clear sky, and the sky as a heat sink. Water can freeze in a pool in the desert with the ambient air temperature as high as 50F due to the heat sink effect of a clear sky with no/low humidity. It is a trick backpackers use to make ice cream and ice. Paint a hiking cup black on the outside, and leave the top exposed to the clear night sky in a meadow, and voille you have ice in the morning, even with night time temperature as high as 50F due to evaporation of water taking heat with it into the night sky.

[@ingacartwright2427]

The desert averages seven nights a year of freezing weather, which can occur in December, January and February. Any overnight frost normally thaws the next day, as daytime highs are typically always above 32 degrees. It’s interesting that miners reported the rocks moving on dry land over a century ago, but then the “Geologist” states his theory of the rocks moving after it rains and freezes.... In my opinion, this topic deserves research led by “Expert(s)”.....

[@doskraut]

Great explanation if all rocks moved, I've seen where large rocks had moved while smaller ones sit still so keep searching for the real store.

Could be the ice flows over smaller rocks but larger rocks get caught in the ice and dragged along with it.

The stones move because the water under them makes them move i actually remembered it,my brother was watching something like this in 2016

[@troyrussell177]

Yesterday, i set down a glass on my granite countertop. The granite was wet, as was the cup. When I put the cup down nothing special happened, but a minute later I reached to pick up the glass and then changed my mind, with the glass never really leaving the countertop. Two seconds later that I notice the glass is sliding. Its not sliding from the momentum of me almost picking it up. Its bubbling at the bottom rim of the glass. The bubble popped once every second or two, and every time the bubble popped it would slide the glass a centimeter. I watched this go on for 2 minutes or so and the glass had moved 12 -14 inches. It stopped when the glass got to an area of the counter top that wasnt wet. First thing that came to my mind was these rocks, but it doesn't seem to be the same process. Very Similar but different. I can't find it, but there's a video of Spanish speaking news casters watching a glass slide on its own, on a glass table. It was on a countdown list of potential paranormal occurrences, on top 15s, top 5 unknowns, or chills. I'm pretty sure that glass moved for the same reasons my glass moved...does this process have a name? Or has it been fully defined?

[@Hung895]

Totally!! Most of all: I've seen them trying to reproduce it in a labolatory, with smaller stones on a piece of icy ground, with something to make a 'wind' stronger and stronger;; And at the end they are trully blowned away, but the don't slide , just a little before being blowned, that's when they put the wind at is max,if not them don't move at all!! These tracks are nothing but usual, but I don't know what it is!! At th end she says: "if we 'd know, it would lost its interes 't,so that§

[@mesdjz8294]

Hung895 well I know: at the time of Moses the Prophet; guys where taking shower together and seeing their naked bodies, but Moses was a respected and very shy man and was taking his shower separately away from them, so they started a rumor that Moses Body is deformed and his skin is extremely ugly, this hurt Moses a lot but still he didn't take show with them, one day God decided to shut them up, when Moses was taking a shower he put his cloths on a a stone next to him, so God ordered that stone to move and Moses was ruining after it till he found himself between the other showering man and they just got amazed by the beauty and fitness of his body...stones are living creatures like us but different, they move, they pray!, this is what the prophet Mohammed told us, and now science proved that Yes, stones move!

The mystery of stones are very important to know, from creation stones are invoked, in genesis 28:10-22. Jecib came in contact with the stone mystery and there he called the Gate of Heaven. He anointed the stones and called it Bethel and he entered into a covenant with God and he vowed to God. And in genesis 31:13. The angel appeared to Jacob and remind him. Saying , I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointed a pillar stone. Arise and go back to your kindred. Now I want to tell you the mystery of stones, there is an angel behind all stones, no matter the shape or size. Left for us to discover the angel and it importance to humanity based on nature. Also in I Samuel 7:12. There Samuel took a stone and called it Ebenezer. This is the name if an angel. What I believe is that if I am consulted. I will tell you about the deep mystery of the stones and how they are helpful to science, technology, nature and humanity. God created all these for the use of man. Tanx.

so.. the moving rock in that one spongebob episode makes sense now

[@8Krille8]

I still don't buy this explanation. Some things still don't make sense to me. 1. The ice-sheets should break as they hit the stones as the ice is fairly thin as i get it, and thus there shold be no "sails" to push the rocks? 2. If i understand correctly there are even pebble sized rocks leaving trails? If so why are there no trails from the ice-sheets them selves blowing around there? They should leave marks too imo. That's two things i can think of right of the bat. Might be more but those two bugs me the most. Maybe you guys can shed some light on those thoughts?

[@t.7917]

if it is ice and water. why are the trails left behind, not washed away by the water or blown away by the winds?

[@sj3rish348]

Maybe because it's not allot of water? And the trail is too deep for the light wind to cause major change in it's shape

[@sgrif392]

Sorry but the ice and wind have nothing to do with rock movement. The water undermines the flat bottom rock and the thin layer of "Silt" which is very slick washes away underneath the rock forming a small slope and the rock slides forward at a snails pace. I believe there is like a 4 degree slope were the water flows as you can see in the film. This movement leaves a trail much like a clam does on lake beds. This silt is so fine that when it is baked by the sun it flakes and remains there until the next rainy season. Yes, I have seen Mother Nature do her thing with rocks in other parts of the world. In a nut shell it is nothing more than natures selective order. Still a Phenomenon!

[@MAGIKMARTIAN9526]

The Rock would have froze in place when the lake froze and if you have a sheet of ice you don't push up mud on each side they could have laid the rocks on top of the ice after it froze and then recorded and I put their own rocks out there it's just too illogical to think The Rock didn't freeze in place when the lake froze

[@Rocky13Ray]

The rocks move because they contain coniousness. The ice crystal theory makes 0 sense. The reason it happens in the lake area is b3cause where is a vessel for conviouses which still remains and allows the rocks to move. If the surface is frozen then it wouldn't cause a trail. The ice would have to be under the rock to drive it, which doesn't and wouldn't happen given the density of the rocks. The rocks themselves are alive, their lvl of being alive is increased do to the location, which contains water, which acts as a connection to the non physical relham like a land cable and router.

[@Biscuitchris7again]

I'm still confused. What's moving the ice? It's not windy. Even if it was windy, the ice is around the rocks, trapping them.. not under them providing friction. I see the video, but the explanation is still unconvincing to me. Nowhere else on earth does a couple inches of water with a thin sheet of ice move boulders 200ft in a day with no tangible force to do so.
