The Geologic Oddity in New Zealand; Moeraki Boulders

Within southern New Zealand is an unusual geologic oddity. Along a popular beach are a series of several hundred large near perfectly circular boulders. These boulders each measures about 2 meters or 6.6 feet wide, which stand out against the finely grained sand in the landscape. Even more interesting is what becomes visible from groups of boulders which were cracked open by nature. Inside, some of these boulders contain a colorful bright orange core, much like seen in this example. These boulders are referred to as the Moeraki Boulders, and have an unusual geologic origin. So, how did these form? This video will discuss this geologic oddity and how they formed. If you would like to support this channel, consider becoming a patron at   / geologyhub  .
