A few notes about rocks:

Rocks for the most part are found in the sky, hovering steadily at around 1000 feet. A rock will begin life deep underground and move upward rapidly. As it climbs it will pack dirt onto itself, growing in size. By the time a rock reaches the surface it will be several feet in diameter. Approaching a rock partially out of the ground may be dangerous, as even the tremors of footsteps can set it loose and hurtling into the sky, sending debris flying in all directions. When a rock dislodges itself it will react with the air and expand rapidly. At its maximum height gravity will prevent it from expanding upwards so it will stretch sideways, forming an irregularly shaped platform flat on top. The bottom is curved and misshapen. The average rock is about half a mile wide in every direction and 10-20 feet thick when fully grown. This process takes around six days. The surface of the rock is porous and brittle, eroding quickly in high winds. This results in a cloud of dust and expanding pebbles, sometimes called the "asteroid belt" surrounding the main rock. The age of a rock can often be determined by the size of its dust cloud. After it has eroded down to nothing the cloud will scatter, spreading itself across the sky, until it reaches the ocean. When a rock of any size finds a large body of water it will absorb moisture from the air and take on weight, crumble, and in bits and pieces tumble from the sky. Rocks in water sink quickly and are absorbed into the clay far below. Over time these lumps will shift deep underground, clump together, and form a new rock.
