Do you think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) stones (石头) 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 (科学家) 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 south, they always move to the north. But how can the wind move a very heavy stone
Death Valley is one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the hottest place in the world, but it can be very cold at night. Sometimes, there are even bad storms (暴风雨) at night.

In the morning, the sun comes up and dries (使……变干) the ground. So people can find them move from one place to another in the daytime.
