Hopewell Rocks

The rocks in this picture are found on the coast of Canada. How do you think these structures were formed? Google up how  high tides are at the Hope Well Rocks and in Portland Maine.

  1. I think that there was a mud side and it draged the rocks down to where they are now.

  2. by wind erosion

    ReplyDelete
  3. wind and waves crashing against them

  4. i think that the tide would come in and go out so it caused the rock to be eroded by the water

  5. The rocks were eroded by the water at the bottom. The water slowly eroded the side of the rock until it became what it is today. It is still eroding today if the water is still there.

  6. I think they were formed over time by the tide and the water and maybe some storms.

  7. i mean water erosion i'm smarticals :)

  8. I think these rocks formed from wind erosion.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I think that they were big rocks and that after awhile water erosion it wash the sides away.

    ReplyDelete
  10. maybe there was a wind erosion and it broke down the rocks.

  11. They are skinnier at the bottom. That is probably where some water eroded the rock.

  12. Millions of years of water erosion formed them

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think they were formed by the water pushing the sand up over the rocks.

  14. i think its by wind erosion!

    ReplyDelete
  15. i think they were full rocks and the water kept crashing into them and they formed those weird shapes

    ReplyDelete
  16. the water erosion deformed the rock.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think the statues formed by waves crashing up against them and the rock became eroded by the water.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I think that the water was once high then it went down and it eroded it down as the water went down.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think the water erodes it to form weird shapes.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think they formed by wind erosion and maybe storms or waves.

  21. Water used to be water up to the to the top of the island things and then water eroded the bottoms almost all the way then the water went down.

    ReplyDelete
  22. They were probably broken down by the water rising and falling.

    ReplyDelete
  23. channel is creating the weathering that is makeing these rocks like this.

    ReplyDelete
  24. water erosion might have broken up the rocks

    ReplyDelete
  25. I think that in the beginning those rock formations were like almost like a circle thingy and then the wind and water broke it away to these shapes.

  26. wind and waves crashing against them

    I think that they formed by water coming in and out of the shore line and eroded the rock.

    Water Erosion is at work i believe

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think the rocks were formed by wind erosion.

    ReplyDelete
  30. water erosin might have broken up the rocks and made them into smaller pieces

    ReplyDelete
  31. I think it was water erosion.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Waves crashing into rock.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think it would be Water Erosion!!!!! ;) <3

    ReplyDelete
  34. The rocks might have been eroded by water

    ReplyDelete
  35. i think it had to do with water erosion.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think that they were big rocks and that after awhile water erosion it wash the sides away.

    ReplyDelete
  37. i think the structures were eroded into what they are in the picture

    ReplyDelete
  38. I think that these rocks w ere formed because of the glaciers in the iceage.

    ReplyDelete
  39. i think they were formed by water erosion

    ReplyDelete
  40. i think they were formed by water erosion

    ReplyDelete
  41. I think that rocks have destroyed it down so it ends up like those rocks.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think these structures were created by water erosion. When the water passed by the rocks so many time it starts to wear them down.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I think it was eroded by wind, water, and gravity.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think the rock formations were formed by maybe the water level was higher and the water eroded the rock and as the water level kept dropping lower, the water kept eroding away at the rocks.

    ReplyDelete
  45. i think that these rocks were formed by the water. then after many years the water level has droped to where it is now and these rock formations.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I think they were formed by water eroding rocks and the water level lowering and the rocks are now showing because the water level lowered.....That is my theory, plus I like whoopy pies Holly.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I think the rocks were once small mesas and they were of the same width all along. However, I think wave and water erosion eroded away much of the base of the rocks, making them look as they are now.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think it was water erosion in the form of waves and tides.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I think they were formed by waves pounding the stones.

    ReplyDelete
  50. From water erosion.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I think it used to be on solid piece of sand/mud/rock. Then waves and tide slowely picks up pieces of mud. As the mud washed away. And it left the rock structures.

    ReplyDelete
  52. NO i am not doing this blog!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I think they were formed by water erosion like tides.

    ReplyDelete
  54. They have the same high tide because both places are on the same bay.

    ReplyDelete
  55. From water erosion is the reason

    ReplyDelete
  56. These structures most likely formed over time by the tide going in and out and weathering the rocks.

    ReplyDelete
  57. they were eroded by the tides coming in and out and over a very long time then the salt water wore it away to look like cool shapes

    ReplyDelete
  58. The bottom of the rocks are all eroded away so it looks like they might even fall over. The water probably eroded the bottom of the rock because that's as far as the water could reach on the rocks. The internet was being stupid though, so I have no info from it. :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. I noticed that there was water in the background and I think that the waves eroded the rock over time.

    ReplyDelete
  60. The tides are 52 feet at the Hopewell Rocks, and the tides are around 9 or 10 feet.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I think that the rock formations could have formed by having lots and lots of waves crash against the shoreline slowly eroding the rock, it's only eroded at the bottom because when the tide comes in and the waves crash against only the bottom and erode only the bottom.
    High tides at Hopewell are very strange, the water advances enough that you could kayac.

    The rocks were formed by water coming up and sweeping the rocks out and eroded them down then the water socked into the sand

    ReplyDelete
  63. The rocks were probably eroded by the tide. As the tide comes in and out, it rubs up against the rocks taking away bits and pieces of it. The reason why only the bottom half of the rocks are eroded is because that's how high the water level is at high tide. The high tide at Hopewell Rocks in Portland, Maine is fifty feet high.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I think the tides can go up really high because I saw a picture of the rocks and they looked weather at the highest point.

    ReplyDelete
  65. "The high tide can be as high as 16 metres (52 ft) giving The Hopewell Rocks one of the highest average tides in the world.[2]" Wikipedia

    ReplyDelete
  66. I'm guessing they were formed by sand being eroded away and only bare rock being left behind. They are about 50 feet high.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Portland's tides are about nine feet high.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I think these structures were formed by wind erosion.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I think that they were formed by crashing water against the rocks. And, I couldn't find the hope well tides in Portland Maine. 50 feet high by the Hopewell tides and 9 feet tides in Portland Maine.

    ReplyDelete
  70. i think this happened by weather erosion

    ReplyDelete
  71. I think that they were formed bu crashing water rocks wind erosion and gravity :)

    ReplyDelete
  72. i think the structures were eroded into what they are in the picture

    ReplyDelete
  73. I think it used to be on solid piece of sand/mud/rock. Then waves and tide slowely picks up pieces of mud. As the mud washed away.

    ReplyDelete
  74. the rocks are not good in portland because there are no very high tides that would come up high anoufgh to hit the rocks

    ReplyDelete
  75. I think by wind and the water hitting agenst it.

    ReplyDelete
  76. 1. water 2. wind and 3. rocks.

    ReplyDelete
  77. i think the rocks were formed by erosion and by chemical weathering

    ReplyDelete
  78. The water tides are eroding the rocks and making them look like that

    ReplyDelete
  79. water erosion :)

    ReplyDelete
  80. Portland, ME tides are around nine feet high.

    ReplyDelete
  81. i think the rock was formed by water

    ReplyDelete
  82. From water eriosion

    ReplyDelete
  83. its 50ft high by the Hopewell tides and 9ft tides in Portland Maine.

    ReplyDelete
  84. i think that they were formed by water erosion
