How long did it take for Uluru to form?

Answer 1

Scientists have not been able to come to any agreement on when and how Uluru / Ayers Rock was formed.

Traditional scientific thought is inclined towards the age being 550 million years (see the related link below). This is contradicted by the fact that the arkose sandstone which makes up Uluru is composed of jagged, inconsistently shaped grains of many different sizes, while the feldspars are fresh and shiny. This is evidence of a fairly fast deposit of just a few years, according to flood geologists (see the Crystalinks weblink below) but it does not give any further indication of when such a deposit occurred.

Answer 2

In reality, scientists are mystified as to how Uluru/Ayers Rock formed. This particular monolith or, more correctly, inselbergdoes not follow any conforming patterns of formation. There are plenty of theories, but none that satisfies the majority of the scientific community.

One theory is that Uluru is the result of millions of years of erosion from a huge mountain range in Central Australia, he remnants of which can be seen in the Petermann Ranges to the west (see the related link below). This is contradicted by the fact that the arkose sandstone which makes up Uluru is composed of jagged, inconsistently shaped grains of many different sizes, while the feldspars are fresh and shiny. This is evidence of a fairly fast deposit of just a few years, according to flood geologists (see the Crystalinks weblink below).

Similarly, it is not known whenUluru was formed.

Answer 3

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, formed over 550 million years ago through a process of sedimentation and uplift. The iconic rock formation itself emerged from beneath the Earth's surface over the course of millions of years due to geological forces at work.

Answer 4

Uluru rock consists of lithified eroded rock particles that date from the late Pre-Cambrian to Early Cambrian, over 500,000,000 years in age.

Answer 5

10,000 years ago
