And I'd wonder about surface ice when these stones are digging tracks.
Re: The weird, wild, and amazing natural world
Could it be possible the sand starts behaaving like snow or water in those circomstances? you can ski on sand for one, but you need steeper angles to do so due to more friction.

That's the whole problem, friction. That's why ice is proposed, less friction.

It's that volcano in Iceland; the ash clouds create lightning storms. Through friction, I presume.
