Geology Lesson At The Devil's Punchbowl California LA

[frozenstrawbs]

this guy never looked at california on a map before or what??

Neil Armstrong I heard something about a home he had... or lives at "Juniper Hills".

This is great! I've been visiting the DP for more than a decade, and this is so much fun to see. We've talked to Mr. Numer often about the geology around here. Thanks for a great video!

[ElusiveClover1]

Oh man! I was there! It was so awsome! I'll never forget that day!

[SnowVixen89]

I want to go there so bad. I hope the fault really snaps when I get there.

[ElusiveClover1]

Be careful. When that fault snaps, it can be extremely serious. Try not to let curiosity get the best of you. Be prepared when you live in earthquake country.

awosome

Could someone please explain why the stress fields related presumeably to the regional orogeny have favoured the formation of both a transform (San Andreas) and strike slip (Garlock) Faults??? Presumeably the faults in Nevada are caused also by the orogeny to the west which formed the san andreas and garlock faults...also do the Garlock and San Andreas faults post date those in Nevada?...a good video!

According to one theory of plate tectonics, the core of the earth has a high proportion of heavy radioactive elements. At various stages in the past, the cacade decay of these elements en mass could in fact cause the earth to expand, and, the mantle to heat dramatically. If the earth expanded in the past, then contracted as the heating was lost, you would get all manner of stretching faults, generating fissuring, then all manner of contracting faults, bucking up mountains. We are between stages.

See "Earth Expanding" in youtube

i live there...lol by palmdale,lancaster

[symmetry08]

do you people know that there is another faultline under pacific ocean just not far from west shore. I heard, it is going to shift very soon violentely. Time to organize emergency evacuation plan.

Hearsay is worthless.  Cite your source.

I heard man never landed on the Moon.

Great video. The same type of sandstone formations are found in Monterey County

[chenyugin]

Thank you for the video, very uplifting...keep up the good work! Whats next?

[davidsquall351]

I live by a transverse range.

[Qintomur]

Thank you for the video. It helped me to understand fault, especially San Andreas.

The gentleman is correct about the location of the San Adnreas fault for most of what he traces with his finger. However, he curves it out to sea just a bit too far south. Where he moves his finger out to sea is Point Arena. The SAF continues to north undersea but still paralleling the coast until it reaches Cape Mendocino - the next major salient to the north of point Arena. This is the triple junction where the SAF meets the Cascadia subduction zone. This is where the SAF cuves out to sea.

thanks for the video. I especially appreciate that you wrote down the keywords. Sounds like an interesting tour.

[Tkrtomm]

Very interesting. I live in Apple Valley near the Cajon Pass. Thanks for the video.
