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.
Uluru extends about 2.5 miles underground, roughly the same height as the visible portion aboveground. It is a monolith composed of sandstone and is known for its striking appearance as well as its significant cultural and spiritual importance to the Anangu people.
It is estimated that 7/8 of Uluru lies underground, extending toa depth of possibly six to seven kilometres. It is an inselberg, connected underground to the nearby feature Kata-Tjuta (formerly The Olgas) which lies about 30 km away.
Uluru is of sandstone makeup, and is part of the local bedrock. Much of which in the district is concealed by aeolian sand.
Approximately another 2.5 km of Uluru is believed to lie underground. This is about seven-eighths of the total size.

Deep underground, water can be contained in porous rock formations such as aquifers, which are layers of rock that can hold and transmit water. Another way water can be contained underground is in underground water reservoirs or natural underground chambers created by geologic processes like caves or caverns.
Is Uluru a mesa?
No, Uluru is not a mesa. Uluru is a large sandstone rock formation in Australia that is considered a monolith, meaning it is a single massive stone structure. Mesas are flat-topped landforms with steep sides, typically found in arid regions like the southwest United States.

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.
