In actual fact, the balance of the rocks is not stable. Perhaps, only the time, climate & erosion can give the answers.
# J7 K, N: c+ h國外BLOG網站最近公布了自然界中的令人不可思議的平衡岩。在慣性穩定性和無情的地心引力之間,它們實現了一種微妙的平衡,在土地和天空之間,它們也維持著一種不穩定的平衡,彰顯著大自然的神奇與魔力。

The site is known as Karlu Karlu to the land's Aboriginal traditional owners. The ‘Devils Marbles’ or ‘Karlu Karlu’ with its gigantic, rounded granite boulders, some spectacularly poised, is a remarkable landscape. The Devils Marbles is a nationally and internationally recognised symbol of Australia’s outback.

The rock is an eighty ton granite boulder perched on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic ocean, on a headland one mile south of the village. The rock is finely balanced due to the actions of weathering, and prior to its restoration in 1824 it could be rocked by applying only a little pressure. This upset the local residents considerably, since Logan Rock had been used to draw tourists to the area. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb, c4 E, `( U. m' g, k, ?+ \

It is famous for its extensive vertical rock formations. The monument is located approximately 36 miles (58 km) southeast of Willcox, Arizona. It preserves the remains of an immense volcanic eruption that shook the region some 27 million years ago. Called the Turkey Creek Caldera eruption, it eventually laid down two thousand feet of ash and pumice, highly siliceous in nature. This eventually hardened into rhyolite tuffs, and eroded into the natural features visible at the monument today. 6 A/ y+ O/ L, Y

Hoodoo Balancing Rock, Utah (USA) A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, and earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. Hoodoos consist of soft sedimentary rock topped by harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects each column from the elements.

Mexican Hat is a census-designated place (CDP) on the San Juan River in south-central San Juan County, Utah, United States. The name "Mexican Hat" comes from a curiously sombrero-shaped, 60-foot (18 m) wide by 12-foot (3.7 m) thick (18.3 x 3.7 m), rock outcropping on the northeast edge of town.
