Does the Gibson Desert have rocks?
Yes, Uluru (Ayer's Rock) could be counted as one. There aren't really any "guidelines" on how tall something has to be before it is counted as a mountain.
Are There Any Plants On Uluru?
yes
How long has Uluru been in Australia for?
Scientists have not come to any agreement regarding either the age of Uluru, or how it was formed.
Why does Uluru have to be so big?
Uluru does not have to be any particular size. It is a natural landform, and this is how it is formed - large, bald and rising imposingly above the surrounding plain.
How are organic rocks and chemical rocks similar?
Both organic sedimentary (like coal) and chemical sedimentary (like rock salt) rocks are not composed of particles of other rocks, as are the bulk of sedimentary rocks classified as clastic (shale, sandstone, conglomerate).
Have there been any erosions on Uluru?
Yes if you look at the surface of Uluru you will see signs of it everywhere after all it has been exposed to wind and water for thousands of years.
Are there any rocks on mars?
Yes. It is made of rock, with a general internal structure similar to that of Earth.
Is Uluru being eroded?
Yes. Uluru, formerly Ayers Rock, is being eroded, but only minimally, and not to any degree that is easily noticed within our own lifetimes. Natural landforms, of which Uluru is one, are all subject to weathering and erosion from wind and rain.
Has Uluru changed since European settlement?
There has been little discernible difference in Uluru since European settlement, apart from the path marked out for visitors to climb. It has not suffered any significant extra weathering or similar fate since people have been visiting it. The landscape around the monolith has changed more than Uluru itself, with the introduction of numerous non-native species of flora and fauna, and these have certainly damaged the area, as exotic species invariably do.
Which desert is Ayers Rock in?
Uluru, once known by the European name of Ayers Rock, is in the Northern Territory. This is not a state but a territory.
Are there any myths or legends behind Uluru?
Yes. Uluru is sacred to the indigenous Australians, and they had many legends about the feature they called "Earth Mother". See the related links below for some of these legends and beliefs.
Is uluru of any value to Australia?
I would think it's avery valuable tourist attraction
