Wave Rock, a granite cliff, is 15 meters high and 110 meters long. Its rounded shape has been caused by weathering and water erosion which has undercut the base and left a rounded overhang. It is believed that the Aborigines, who were the first to inhabit the area, gave the district a wide berth during the past century and a half for fear of the spirit of Mulka.

Is Primary wave the fastest wave?
i think so.. :/ Travel fastest through rock material causing rock particles in the rock to move back or forth
Why is Australia so close to the Aboriginals?
Because the Aboriginals were in Australia before the Europeans came.
Why are large waves able to remove large chunks of rock from a shoreline than an average wave?
The large waves has a giant ship on it so that the waves could move the large chunk of rocks Answer When the large wave stirkes the rock, the wave recedes back to the sea taking with it all of the smaller pebbles and sand that support the large rock. If the weight of the water in the wave behind the rock exceeds that of the rock it will take the rock with it. Given time the rock will tumble as the smaller waves take away the supporting material.
Why is metamorphic rock important to the rock cycle?
well it isn't that important but it is just there i guess because when it goes under heat and pressure it will turn from sedimentry rock to metammorphic rock so i would say not so important but if you think wrong please correct me!
Did native aboriginals eat damper?

What type of rock is the most important?
All rock types are important. The rock that would be most important to an individual depends on what the person needs the rock for. So, a rock that is most important to me might be the least important to you since we need them for different purposes. For instance if i need crush stones for construction then Granite would probably be the most important rock to me and on the other hand if you need Cement then Limestone would be your favorite rock type.

What can the p-wave move through magma rock or both?
P-waves are longitudinal / compressional waves and so can pass through both solids (rock) and liquids (magma).
Do scorpions only use their claws for tearing food?
no so do aboriginals
Why does a siesmic wave travel faster through a solid rock then through water?
In solid rock the atoms are joined together and packed closer so the energy of the wave can be passed between the atoms a lot easier. In water the molecules or atoms are not very closely or tightly packed so energy is lost trying to pass between the molecules.
