    Uluru (Ayer's Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) are two large and famous monolithic rocks that exist in the southern part of the Northern Territory in Central Australia. Both of these beautiful rocks owe their origin from the The Petermann Ranges, which was a mountain range that was as high as the Himalayas in its peak and was lengthwise similar to the whole Himalayan mountain range. As the Petermann Ranges eroded, large alluvial deposits formed, and at least two of these alluvial fans would, in time, become Uluru and Kata Tjuta in present day. In this video, I will cover how this came to be, and we will dive into how Uluru and Kata Tjuta formed.
    Uluru was formally known as Ayres Rock and Kata Tjuta was known as The Olgas and the origin of both of these Australian landmarks is truly extraordinary, stretching for over 600 million years when the mountain that created these two landforms begun its existence.

    Great video. I lived there recently, such an amazing landscape. The layers of its past are clearly visible on much of the McDonnell ranges (made it to Gosse Bluff crater too). It's so interesting how it all formed and slowly eroding away; the land we have is so old.

    I was a tour guide up that way a couple of decades ago. We were taught by a local geologist that Uluṟu and Kata Tjuṯa were both part of the same alluvial fan, but that Kata Tjuṯa was near the mouth, and hence collected the larger stones in the aggregate.

    • @andrewbraithwaite1365

    Kata Juta was amazing to go and see first hand. More interesting than Ayers Rock in a way. Tour guide mentioned that the formation goes down 6km but I hadn't realised it was actually connected to Ayers Rock. Hard to figure where all that material came from.. but now knowing there was a 9km high mountain range it all makes sense. .

It is literally a steep pass on a mountain ridge but sand! It seems Unbelievable and now it makes sense. You solved my 24 year mystery as how it could exit. Same for Mason Bay n Doughboy Bays (amazing places), then East Ruggedly, where the chevron goes right thru the Island.. You really need to visit them!.. So amazing thank you❤❤

    I live in WA and have three interesting geology sites you might like to explore. Firstly, the Stirling Range in southern WA. We climbed to the top of Mount Hassell (approximately 900 metres) to be greeted by seashells. Secondly, Peak Charles in the southern Goldfields area, which is supposed to be an extinct volcano. Lastly, the Napier Range in the far north of WA. It used to be a reef million of years ago. Fascinating stuff.

    Abstract :
    The energy that dominates the earth is very great, some of it is natural, like the heat of the sun and volcanoes, and some of it is human action, by cutting down trees, without replacing them and cultivating in their place...
    There are five forces that control or dominate the planet...
    1- The first theory (horizontal dynamic movement) and its end...
    The occurrence of storms, rain, floods and snow, at unexpected times and places, is because of the expiration of this theory, which needs to be balanced...
    2- The second theory (vertical dynamic movement) and its end...
    This movement or force controls or dominates the earthquakes, earth cracks, drying up of rivers and lakes, earth openings, mountain collapses, and the emergence of drinking water springs on the ground...
    It becames out of control...
    These phenomena increased due to the end of this theory...
    The third theory: it is water that rotates the earth...
    The fourth theory: the Earth's axis of rotation has tilted 2° degrees...
    The fifth theory: The Earth has a new orbit...
    These studies had completed and sent on July 26th 2000

    @yousifatobiya7279 Год назад

    This case (the coast of the White Sea shrinking by 100 meters) proved my fourth theory, the deviation of the Earth's rotation axis by two degrees... After the opening of the dams and the water leaking into Syria and Iraq, this force affecting the Earth's rotation axis disappeared, so the rotation axis returned one degree, to be 1 degree, Instead of two degrees...
