How it is formed / What caused it?


These rocks were formed 1.5 billion years ago by the slow cooling of molten rock, magma,
as it bubbled up into the earth's crust. ...
The granite was slowly exposed and began to slowly weather along joints
– vertical and horizontal cracks in the hard rock.
- Today these rocks continue to slowly weather away.
