World's Only Moving Mud Puddle 

its sedmient :)

Yassss Phyisics Girl! So excited for you to go independent!

Keep it alive! I doin't live in north america, so keep this channel alive please! Best regards

Drill a hole on the other side of the road at an angle so that it reaches the source of kyle and then kyle will skip the road as kyle will eject on the other hole, track kyle's trajectory and this will be an easy fix

Maybe some greenies can help. With their strong roots. Lol I don't know :)

I thought this said “California, where everyone is so high even the mud moves

@@phtogrphic Even better

🤣

I come to see a moving mud And i found gold

Is it heading to texas too?

Yeah really wish drone cameras could stay airborn for years at a time (nuclear powered). That would be some epic footage. 20 feet a year isn't much, so maybe do 15 years at 1 frame per day = interesting 3 min video of it moving 100 yards.

I was thinking the same thing and could not agree more

I bet you could cobble something together with satellite photos...

Wonder if google earth timelapse has it. Edit: Eh, looks like it's not high resolution enough :/

@@fvckyoutubescensorshipandt2718 Maybe not a drone, but how about a giant pole drivin into the earth, why go complex when you can keep it simple. ;P Also, I approve of your name, but counter your suggestion by suggesting the lbry platform!

I am a native aswell and i havent seen any but my parents and grandparents have told me about them

I'm not some kind of nerd for this stuff but I'd be upset if I had missed it too, seems like an epic moment in life

I am sure the bill she is charging State of California, helps alleviate her dismay

Is it possible that such a pocket is hundreds of meters below ground level that it is missed when the preliminary foundation tests are made?

Woah didn't expect to see you here!

Could you imagine something like this opening up in downtown Dallas? What a nightmare.

@@Sivah_Akash That’s a good question. I wonder if we need a new kind of foundation test for this kind of risk.

Wondered if you would be here... glad you are.

Ironic part is that people reoccupied that area almost immediately and there's even more people living there now.😂😂😂

The gas was dissolved in the water at the bottom of the lake. A landslide stirred up the lower layers as if opening a bottle of seltzer. The CO2 saturated water rose high enough for the reduced water pressure to allow it to erupt out of the lake and, being heavier than air, hugged the ground as it expanded outwards beyond the lake, suffocating anything in its path. Same thing happened with Lake Monoun not very far away a few years earlier. A more complete story can be found, among other places, on Smithsonian's online magazine _"Defusing Africa’s Killer Lakes"_ being the title. I'd link it, but RU-vid often deletes comments with off-site links, so you'll have to google the title.

@@RailRidethank you brother, this is what I like. Proper information on the story.

It's a lung

I see the water gushing up. But where is it going? Is it recirculating back down?

@@N-Lee *_Also, why so 'SMALL'?_* Underground, it could be a mile or hundreds of miles wide and/or deep! *I don't know, I could be wrong?*

@@N-Lee 76 has a

below the puddle is a normal water table water erodes the water often times will hollow out a chamber with a ceiling, floor and walls moving water erodes faster CO2 is an acid when combined with water (H2CO3) undissolved CO2 moving through water creates water currents acidic moving water will dissolve rock in the path of least resistance fractured rock is the path of least resistance the gas is working like a saw to cut through rock once the CO2 can rise straight up, it will quit cutting/ dissolving the rock and the puddle will quit moving they have the right idea, vent the gas closer to the point or origin on the other side if the infrastructure but... the ground is now unstable under all if it...

I want to thank you for taking the time to comment this. Very satisfying read.

That sounds about right! And people worry about zombies - they have no idea what's really gonna get them!

Will I be safe if I move to another continent?

We need to appease the gods of the mud pit by bringing them sacrifices. I can offer old sweatpants, a facemask and a microwave; the most important items of the last 15 months.

@@hebl47 No one is safe. The mud puddle will call out its brethren the sea mud to form a even bigger puddle and will be able to transverse continents. You are not even safe if you are underwater.

Hey man! What do you think? Why didn't they drilled a hole directly above the source to release the pressure? Then the spring might have jumped across the road.

Bro I really hope she sees this chipsaGang

@@RealEngineering never change, you wonderful man

Ikr! It would be so cool if SCP or alike is real

@@kelseychow5415 no it wouldnt be cool, it would be straight disastrous, because most scp stuff are incredible dangerous and destructive. Tho sure there are some good SCPs but the ratio is like 1 to 1 million, 1 being the good and the million being the bad.

@@BootyRealDreamMurMurs a lot of scps are actually pretty cool/harmless/useful and lovely :D like 131, 073, 507, 4051, 1867, 408, 500 etc etc and the mud puddle can definitely fit in a file without any change :] like scp 1678 or other anomalous locations/structures its mostly harmless unless u jump right in, tho since its moving it'll be harder to contain

Object class: Euclid Special containment procedures: Ongoing. There is currently no known way of containing the object. Foundation agents first attempted to fill in the the object with large stones only for these stones to vanish entirely. In a second attempt agents, under the guise of engineering maintenance crews attempted to contain the SCP by building a wall extending the length of a five story building into the earth. The SCP appeared contained at first but quickly passed through the wall without a hint of effort. In a third attempt drilling crews were brought on site to dig a relief hole and see if it was possible to redirect the SCP. This attempt ended in failure when the heavy drilling mud, supposedly too heavy to push back against, was spat out of the drilling hole as effortlessly as a geyser of water. There have been attempts by foundation personnel to see inside of the object using Class-D personnel fitted with diving equipment. No survivors have returned. (well that's my attempt anyway. I've never written an SCP before I just watch The Volgun a lot. So let me know what you think, I'm sure it's not very good tho)

@@glenngriffon8032 awesome

it was rather amusing how salty the other girl was about missing the puddle jumping the wall as well.

@@Colonel_Overkill ? Wdym

What!? I live in the Central Valley & never heard this😳

@@espinoza1987 We've been sinking for decades due to the draining of the aquifers. I tried to post a link to a story the other day but RU-vid deleted my reply. Do a search for it and you'll find plenty of stories going back many decades. The multi-year drought was an exceptional few years, but long term the central valley has sunk probably 50-100 feet or possibly more since mass-scale industrial farming began sucking out the underground water.

The sinking in central California is not because of massive, violent collapses underground because the aquifer doesn't occupy empty space. An aquifer is, and this isn't a technical term, like waterlogged rock. We can extract water from it because water contained in a rock is at higher pressure, so when we fracture that rock digging a well the water rushes to the lower pressure air in the well. The well is like a straw sucking water from rock. So when the water table lowers, you don't have collapse but something called subsidence. The loss of water causes sediment underground to slowly settle with gravity. When this sediment was below the water table, water filled the tiny pores between sediment and the increase is pore pressure meant those sediments could resist some of the compression pressure from overlying rock. Like how wet sand makes for building great sandcastles but dry sand wont hold it's shape and slump with gravity. The most important takeaway, however, is that because the water table slowly lowers over time, the compression and sinking of sediment happens slowly over time. There is no sudden massive failure. And because this is happening slowly, it does not cause earthquakes. Earthquakes do require a sudden "failure". The earthquakes in California are all caused by large scale tectonic activity. This region of the United States is very tectonically active due to the plate boundary creating faulting. But the subsidence causing sinking- this kind of compression just mechanically cannot produce earthquake sized seismic waves.

And gases here in the Salton Sea are only escaping when the bedrock above them that they cannot travel through is cracked by earthquakes.

Idk, I seen a mud wrestling video that definitely captured my attention.

Watch this video "ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3q-qfNlEP4A.html" for the most terrifying video about mud.

It's a slim mold or microbes are driving it

Right!? 🤣❤

this is basically a tom scott video :)

I came here from his lego beach video sooooooo. :P

Yeah.. haha..

Definitely, revisit the mud spring periodically. It’s a series !! “Where is Kyle?”

Hopefully it doesn't discover SCP-2718

I think that is an SCP

What I was gonna say

@The Guy Under Your Bed If it can't be contained its usually a Keter. It's class is based on it's ability to be contained.

Im glad others thought this

It's a slim mold

God that man was a genius. RIP

And then the puddle took control of its own existence!

But the most terrifying part is coming a school is nearby so can you imagine a sink hole below the buildings?

I think that the terrifying part is the most exciting thing a geologist can witness apart from a volcano or an earthquake

As a geologist myself, I find her reaction very relatable!

It was very fortunate that Union Pacific's wall, even though it didn't work, accidentally got the mud puddle to skip under the track.

Have we tried to walk it, give it treats and telling it 'issa good boy' yet?

Omg. I really lost it out loud. TeeHee.😗😉

I didn't know they were still touring.

I know nothing about physics or geography (I just got this recommended to me), but I guess it makes sense that there would be more than one cause for this. Allegedly, this phenomenon has never been seen before (or at least, not in a very long time), so for something like this to happen a lot of different things must have coincidentally fallen into place.

Then we will have to ask another qn- Is it going back to the place it was before the quake or somewhere else?

@@UltimateDurzan FBI? You there?

I am so intrigued by my native California's geology, from seismic events, to volcanic activity, to mineral deposits (there be gold in them thar hills!), etc. As a geologist, what is your main focus, or scope of work?

Don't feel bad. Those geologists have been brainstorming over this specefic thing for a few years now.

On the latter, I think the answer is that they won't save the road. They'll have to divert the road around the other side while the hole keeps migrating. As for the railroad, I was thinking bridge, but not sure if they have enough reliable footing depth, or how much of a span would be needed. That answer would have been good, too.

Right? She talks about the tracks as if they have definitely been saved, but give no actual solution. Other than that, great video.

It's California they haven't got the go ahead from the unions yet to do anything

O just looked it up: Apparently they moved the railroad to the other side of the puddle and moved the Highway away from the puddle. They'll wait until the puddle has crossed the old highway to repair and reuse it once the puddle has passed

@@sebastianjost Thank you for the clarification!

I just checked it out on google street view. They turned the roads into bridges! The mud puddle is under them in street view but idk how old it is.

if you missed a once in documented history event by an hour, you'd probably be a bit bummed out too.

people dont need to stock up on gas in a 🅱️lastic 🅱️ag anymore

that’s what i thought, if it is actually a gas pocket, can’t they xray the ground and find the gas pocket and drill through it to release the pressure?
