So far,<br> the mysterious movement was explained by the intervention of aliens,<br> magnetic fields or even a joke.\nIn an attempt to solve the mystery,<br> scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography observed rocks in motion. In the winter of 2011,<br> a team of the institute brings replace 15 rocks,<br> equipped with GPS,<br> are monitored by cameras.\nAfter three years of monitoring,<br> the result of the experiment is clear that moving the rocks due to a combination of factors. First,<br> the plate is filled with water deep enough to form ice cover in winter,<br> but shallow enough to see the cliffs. When temperatures drop at night,<br> forming thin \"sheet\" of ice. Thickness from 3 to 6 mm allows them to move freely. On sunny mornings ice covering the water begins to melt and break large floating pieces moving on the surface of light winds.\nFloating ice rocks pushed ahead with low (almost invisible) speed,<br> trajectory determined by the wind and flowing water underneath,<br> leaving tracks in the soft mud. For the two months that the lake existed some rocks moved 224 meters and the largest movement involving more than 60 scales simultaneously.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"community\":\"busy\",<br>\"app\":\"busy\/2.2.0\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\",<br>\"tags\":[\"mystery\",<br>\"blog\",<br>\"busy\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/hpiynhbhq\/image\/upload\/v1514053347\/wmpjs3isbqqeoitbryil.jpg\" " | | vote | "voter":"mystic1000",
