Uluru

The social, environmental and economic features of the land is what makes Ulura such a significant landform.

Uluru started to form around 550 million years ago. Rainwater flowed down Uluru eroding sand and rock and dropping it in big fan shapes on the plains. Approximately 500 million years ago, the ocean coated the whole area. Sand and mud, along with these fans, dropped straight to the surface and filled the seabed. The latest seabed's weight turned the fans into rock formations. This is Uluru. This same ocean faded away 400 million years ago. Rocks folded and shifted as the Tectonic plates relocated. Uluru tilted at a 90 degree angle. Over the last 300 million years, the softer rocks have steadily eroded away, leaving behind the remarkable aspects of Uluru.
