It is difficult for scientists to determine the depth of Uluru, formerly known as Ayers Rock. Although appearing as a single monolith, it is in fact an inselberg, and linked underground to Kata Tjuta, about 40kilometres away, by rock strata which is up to five kilometres thick in some places.

Will Uluru collapse?
No. It is impossible for Uluru to collapse. There is more of this natural rock feature beneath the earth than there is above the surface. It is an inselberg, with a solid foundation underground which is joined to Kata Tjuta, about 35 km away. Whilst it is possible that, in the future, sections of cliff on the outer edges may collapse, this is not a sign of weakness in the inherent structure of Uluru.
