This is not extremely clear. Uluru and the nearby Kata Tjuta rocks are ends of a sandstone bed that was pushed up through softer overlying soils. Beginning about 30,000 years ago, the desert sand dunes around these harder rocks began to be blown away, exposing and oxidizing the sandstone (the material is normally gray). This uncovering is an extremely slow process, as is the erosion of the sandstone itself. Depending upon climate conditions, Uluru could become less prominent as eroded material builds up in the land around the periphery.

Water erosion has created channels and caves that become more pronounced over time, creating the shadowed edges. The parallel ridges deepen because they represent softer layers of the rock that erode more quickly.

Yes, you can visit Ayers Rock, which is also known as Uluru. It is located in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia's Northern Territory and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can experience the natural beauty of the rock formation and learn about its cultural significance to the Anangu people.

Erosion was essentially how Ayers Rock was formed in the first place. Since the arrival of Europeans, however, the Rock has not been significantly altered through erosion.
