Q. Where did these Rocks come from?
Q. Why are they round?
Public report prepared by McMahon & Mann
A. Read about the tectonic plates that moved east/west and north/south
to create these Giant Oval Rocks.
Q. Are These Rocks Tectonic?
A. No, if tectonic pressure turns clay and silt into rock, that rock would not be considered "tectonic" itself, but rather a metamorphic rock formed due to the tectonic forces that applied pressure: the "tectonic" aspect refers to the process that caused the transformation, not the rock itself.
Metamorphic Rock Formation
When significant pressure or heat is applied to existing rocks (like clay and silt compacted together), they change their structure and mineral composition, creating a new metamorphic rock.
Tectonic Pressure
The forces driving these changes, like the movement of tectonic plates colliding or sliding
past each other, are considered "tectonic".
