Winds of up to 100 miles an hour are funneled onto the Racetrack, then are split by rock formations. When they converge on the racetrack it creates turbulence that makes rocks spin and loop and take sharp turns. Despite extensive research,  researchers still can't make any conclusive rules about how different kinds of rocks move.

 

The slippery surface of the Racetrack is a key element of the rock's dance show, allowing stones and boulders to slide. Some geologists have theorized that the rocks move only when they're stuck in a raft of ice. Recent research suggests that's not what's happening.
