A sinkhole about to slip?

[txhurl]

BTW, sinkholes have been around way longer than the combustion engine or factory smokepipe.

I am personally terrified of them even though I’ve never seen one in person.

3.5 to 4 mile depths would suggest magma movement. Is there any ground deformation? Mammoth Lakes does this sort of thing often, saying it’s not extinct at least. It’s a strange hot spot to say the least.

So what California has more than 2,000 quakes a year....it is boring that people freak out about anything under a six.

[rktman]

Just some of that million degree magma that algore told us about. Or the results of thousands of SUV’s being driven around?

Rode out a 6.2 here in Alaska this morning.

When I lived in California back in the 1980’s, there were hundreds of small earthquakes in the Mammoth region. Back then, they were called “harmonic tremors,” and were caused by magma moving around deep beneath the Earth.

None of the magma ever burst up through the surface; if it had, it would have been called “lava” at that point.....
a volcanic eruption.

with a couple of exceptions, the track is moving NW and getting slightly shallower

Last time I was there in ‘89 is was pretty active. Don’t know if that is a guide or not. (Bought me a couch in Bishop, it lasted 5 years. Good times)

This is the best record of earthquakes there, as you can see, quite the swarm today.

These quakes happen all the time in Mammoth.

It’s on a volcano. It’s on the caldera.

Sometimes there can be tragic consequences. Maybe ten years ago one of the daily quakes shook loose a chunk of ice from the roof of a school and fell on a little girl.

Hopefully it is California undocking and floating off into the Pacific. :D

The area around Mammoth Lakes is part of a VERY large volcanic caldera. There has been eruptions from this caldera in the distant past--eruptions known to eject more volcanic ash than Mt. Tambora did in 1815 (it's almost a supervolcano).
