In Death Valley, California, there are some rocks that move on their own. From small ones to boulders, you can find them in the area, with trails that go straight, turn, make loops or zigzag. Not all of them move though, and for some time it was thought that magnetic forces were to blame.
Now, it is thought that the wind is the cause of their movement. When the water is enough to soak the flat clay and the temperature goes below freezing, very small ice crystals form under the rocks. These let the rocks slide slowly on them, if the wind is powerful enough. The result is a trail, as seen in the photos.
