Answer 2

Erosion is the primary means by which the caves of Uluru have been formed. Both water and wind - the latter in particular - have contributed to the hollowing out of caves at the base of Uluru.

Answer 3

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

Uluru, formerly known as Ayers Rock, is an inselberg, meaning "island mountain". One theory is that it is an isolated part left after the slow erosion of an original huge mountain range in Central Australia, the 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 when Uluru was formed.

Answer 4

Uluru was formed by eroding sand
