The mud, sand and other sediments that lied at the bottom of the ocean were compacted and turned into rock. After the ocean subsided it has been weathered down to the more strong layers of rock that we see today, these layers are still being eroded meaning that the rock will eventually just become sediments again, this is something that will happen very far into the future though.

There is also a dream time story as to how the rock was created. The dream time story tells us that the rock was created over 300 million years ago. It was created by three of the ancestors: Mala (a Rufus-Hare Wallaby), Kuniya (a Woma Python) and Liru (a poisonous snake) when they played an important role in creating the land around Uluru.

There are these reasons as well as the safety and environmental reasons. 

The footprints from people climbing eroded the rock over time, meaning that if it continued for a very long amount of time it would have quickened the pace at which the rock eroded which would have been a very bad thing. Falling off of the rock would be terrible, as the rock is incredibly big making the fall incredibly big. Before being able to climb the rock the aboriginal people did a very good job at preserving the rock as they didn't climb on it or harm it at all.]]> 2022-03-16 09:15:50 UTC https://padlet.com/xaviercollingwood/Bookmarks/wish/2097648769 The Uluru Climbing Ban xaviercollingwood https://padlet.com/xaviercollingwood/Bookmarks/wish/2097678944 The Uluru climbing ban caused lots of heated debate across the country between a small group of people who thought we should keep climbing Uluru and a much larger group who agreed to stop. The aboriginal people were very heartbroken and sad about seeing people climbing, dumping, filming and doing all different things on the rock as it was one of their sacred places like a church or a temple; but they couldn't do anything about it and it continued on for decades before the ban was enforced quite recently in 2019 though it was announced in 2017. I believe that the decision to announce the ban much earlier it was going to be enforced was a very greedy thing to do. I believe that they wanted a boom of people climbing Uluru over the 2 years that it had been announced. The ban had been in the works for years before it happened and was worked very hard for to get, it was worked on for so long because of the greediness of the government and the people above the aboriginal people and the people who owned the national park.]]> 2022-03-16 09:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/xaviercollingwood/Bookmarks/wish/2097678944 Interesting Facts xaviercollingwood https://padlet.com/xaviercollingwood/Bookmarks/wish/2097683513 2022-03-16 09:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/xaviercollingwood/Bookmarks/wish/2097683513 Wildlife near Uluru xaviercollingwood https://padlet.com/xaviercollingwood/Bookmarks/wish/2101008938 This website gives us a look at the animals that live near Uluru.
