Explain How The Geological Processes The Formed Wilsons Prom
The geological processes the formed Wilsons Prom
During the most recent ice age, the Prom formed part of a mainland bridge to Tasmania, which allowed Aboriginal people to reach what is now an Island state. About 10,000 years ago, the climate warmed, the ice melted and Bass Strait again become submerged. At this time, the Prom was an Island until the winds and tides deposited the sands which became the isthmus.
The fierce weather of Bass Strait has eroded the granite into the well rounded mountains of today and shaped the many granite boulders which are a feature of Prom scenery.
What did the indigenous use Wilsons Prom for?
It is thought that the park may have been used as what is known as the land bridge, which was used
