Current Event #1

September 3, 2014. NEWSELA Movingrocks

Richard Norris and James Norris watched these 200 lb. rocks move across the floor of a frozen lake in Death Valley. As wind blew across the lake it threw huge amounts of ice at the rocks causing them to move around leaving an indent behind.It had been a mystery how those rocks got around some people even thought they were moved by UFOs! These amazing rocks move at a snails pace of 15 feet per minute. To record the event, the cousins set 15 stones with GPS tracking devices. Later on the episode revealed itself before their eyes.

I think this article shows the crazy things in nature and how it works the way it does. It’s interesting to know whats happening beyond our neighborhood. My parent thought that this event is awesome but was astonished by the the time it took to record the moving rocks which took over 2 years until something happened. These opinions helped me understand how much effort and time it took to get results on this wonder.
