Volcanic activity melts them and when they are cooling different layers of stone/density pocket in weird ways. These balls are likely just a denser trapped substance caught in the middle of a less dense substance.<br />When its cooling, if there is any bubbles /pockets of traveling magma, it may rotate the already cooling ball of dense stone, thus spinning the sphere and causing these lines. Or it may have had an outer layer that was softer stone and was eroded by rains and water when it was partially submerged. 3 billion years is a long time for weathering to occur.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890523669575867377.post-63858186303804957702016-04-25T19:08:56.353+05:302016-04-25T19:08:56.353+05:30You know, everything is a theory, but yet the auth...You know, everything is a theory, but yet the author of these explanations, would like all to basically act stupid and accept his lame explanations as fact and dismiss anything else. I am an architect and look at things rationally, and by looking at the Klerksdorp Spheres, I would like the author to explain to us, how the three continuous perfectly spaced carvings were naturally formed. Because of if he is willing to dismiss this by that lame explanation, then surely he must have a theory as to how they were formed in the first place. No? Go figure.

The other aglomerations are vastly different and far short of spherical, let alone of the precision of the same three times in the same place as the Klerksdorp Spheres.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
