Do you think stones can move by themselves? There are some famous moving stones in Death Valley, the US．Many of the stones are small but a few of them are very big．Some of the big stones are as big as a man．The biggest stone weighs about 350 kg．
The stones only move at night．Nobody has ever seen them moving, but now scientists know the answer to the question．The answer is the wind．When the wind comes from the west, the stones move to the east．When the wind is from the north, they always move to the south．But how can the wind move a very heavy stone?
