Why are there holes all over the southern California desert? This area is a unique basin that should actually be 20,000 ft below sea level. So I traveled there and spent 4 hrs looking for muddy holes in the ground.

Cool to see so many German-speaking viewers! I should make translation errors more often. **ahem** Correction: Graben is the German word for ditch or trench. Makes sense. How do you say, thanks guys, in German? Edit: Danke Leute!

"graben" is also be a verb that translates to "digging", so "Ich grabe einen Graben." would translate to "I am digging a ditch." and like others aleady said "Thanks guys" would be "Danke Leute".

I live downwind of that stinkpot. It’s only bad in the later half of the summer. What you said about sediment and tectonic plates is interesting to me for a specific reason. As a Southern California native I’ve experienced the full range of earthquakes (I slept through Sylmar as an infant) and I’ve never felt earthquakes as I have since living in the desert. It’s like bogey boarding on a sand dune, you can feel the house shifting on sand, rather than being jolted as I have experienced elsewhere. I can hear them coming, it’s so bizarre. When we’ve had earthquakes from a different direction, it feels completely different. I can now tell if they come from Nevada or west of from me just from the waves.

You were just a few hundred yards from Obsidian Mount. A low hill that is made up almost completely, of obsidian from the last volcanic eruption in the area. Maybe next visit. The area is in the gap between the start of the San Andreas fault and the spreading ridge in the Gulf of California. The area is the interface where two plates are spreading apart and the motion converts to the northwest movement of the Pacific Plate. The volcano under your feet is called the Salton Buttes. A great place to generate electricity from hydrothermal action. Cool video. Thanks for posting.

As I recall, the LA basin sits on about 30,000 feet of sediment, washed out of the coastal mountains (different from faulting, so no mud pots). I have spent a few days working at Salton Sea, but never knew about the mud pots. And I can testify that going there in the absence of need requires insatiable curiosity :) .

@maxng7211 2 года назад

Fun fact! If you drive around SF you'll occasionally see little brick circles in the road. They're underground water cisterns that were put there after several fires in the 1850's. In 1906 the quake disrupted the ability to transport water around the city, which is one of the reasons the fires lasted for so long. Luckily they were able to use the cisterns to help fight the fires, and the city has been maintaining them ever since (even adding new ones on occasion).

Mud pots are theorized to be a place where first life emerged. They usually have ionic composition not unlike cell cytoplasm, can concentrate and compartmentalise certain organic compounds and provide solid catalysts for important reactions. Modern mud pots don’t work like this because of all the oxygen around but in the early atmosphere their chemistry was different.

Ma'am, I have a query to ask, it is believed that energy cannot be created or destroyed. So, therefore energy should be a constant value. It is also true that the universe is expanding and accelerating its expantion, which needs force. A constant force or energy can only accelerate an object to a specific velocity. But here the universe seems to accelerate to an infinite velocity. The query is that, from where does this energy coming which causes this acceleration, if energy is constant. It seems as if energy is being created in this process. Dark energy should also be a constant force. Also, if the things discovered till now are true, than the acceleration of the universe should stop at some time. Kindly revert to my query. Thank you
