What directions do the rocks in Death Valley move in?

Can boulders move by themselves?
The answer is "No" according to Newton's First Law. An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in uniform motion tends to stay in uniform motion unless acted upon by an outside force. I think you are referring to Death Valley's "Racetrack". This dry lakebed is a unique place where rocks slide around on it's surface and leave tracks. Although I don't think anyone believes particularly weird phenomena are at work, the issue of why they move (and even WHEN!) seems not to be completely resolved. (Competing theories do exist.) No. But it the regards of the rocks moving across the racetrack, seismic vibrations, however slight, can vibrate and the rocks will move towards gravity, or downhill.
