Explanation:  

Most of the tracks are produced on the ground by a slight hollow with a depth between 10 and 15 cm. Such tubes were made by eliminating the reddish-brown iron oxide-coated stones that cover the surface of the Nazca Desert. The Nazca people were an antique prehistoric culture that was flourishing in using engineering methods to bring underground water to the outside for fertilization. Some of the ideas concerning the purpose of the lines attach them to this need for water.

Answer 2

Geoglyphs are big designs imprinted into or created on natural resources, for example the Nazca geoglyphs that are in Peru. Many different archaeologists and historians have suggested different purposes: they are primarily believed to have been for cosomology and astronomy or worship of the gods.
