Rock holes are caused usually by erosion which occurs on the surface of the earth. The material is transported by the wind. In such regions, such as on this picture, where the land is rough and very hot, the land tends to dry. Therefore it gets harder in texture. However the wind which blows over it breaks each layer making such that a hole is left. It doesn’t have any specific or exact size nor does it always stays in this form. Over the years it increases in size. Many rock holes can be found in Australia, but not only there. All over the world rock holes are formed. Usually they are to be found in groups of 3 or 2. They can even contain water if it has rain over a certain period of time. The depth differs from the intensity of the force of its erosion. With time it gets deeper but sometimes if erosion stops and deposition takes place, the hole is covered again. It forms part of one of the natural processes of our environment.
