No, from what i have read it dose not. It also says the Mojave River flows underground for about 100 miles during its course through the Desert & Mountains. @Assembler You should read about it it's very interesting.
Each episode of this type of thriller always sings a signature tune going out for miles around that is at times even recorded in rock formations nearby.
So, the water currently just completely flows to the ocean with a hot lifting plate nearby?
No it dose not flow to the Ocean. What it dose say is the river only appears above ground where bedrock forces the underground flow to the surface, such as in the San Bernardino Mountains and my claim ⛏️ @Assembler Just take a minuet and read the History Of the Mojave River its very interesting all your questions will be answered lol. And as one member says time for more ☕☕☕
Correct like many underground rivers and creeks. The water course could have been changed by any nature's events underground over time especially over a 11-million-year period time frame. You may have an older river deposit where you are?
I don’t know where your claim is located, but in my area in Northern California, we have these forces of nature that move rock and gold. I fairly sure there were several methods of transport here. 1 The ancient blue gravels deposited by the river that flowed through California. You see remnants of it in Siskiyou, Shasta county, and south. The upheaval of mountains, the ocean erosion, the glacial transport..parking..melting..depositing..repeat again.
Hi @Tesorodeoro I can see Mt San Gorgonio from my front yard its about 20ish miles from me. Every thing I read about my area you just said the same thing that's crazy lol. I am still learning about that area and now I will dive deeper into reading more about the Mojave River and the mountains that surround it. TY for that info.
That geologic history is part of what makes me interested in prospecting. Nothing is as simple as what most people assume is the result of a couple hundred years of natural erosion. There was stuff going on back when the dinosaurs were roaming and the earth’s mantle was still cooling.
The non native is a strong clue here......Just saying a fisher / fault/ fracture opened up for some quick movement likely from below or even sideways.
Please read the volcanic activity in the San Bernardino Mountains. Yes there has been volcanic activity and associated flow layers on the edges of and within the boarder San Bernardino mountain region. The area they speak of is in the Whitewater River area called "Red Knob" near Palm Springs which is 91 miles East from my claim. So there is No volcanic bedrock flow layers on my Claim. Again please read the History on volcanic activity in the San Bernardino County. All your questions will be answered.
Well, that research indicates that there should be no volcanic activity near your claim area. The photos you post may indicate otherwise. When you dig down to whatever bedrock you have there you should be able to figure out at least in part what happened. If there is a glacier deposit, you should be able to see that with what is sitting on top of bedrock. If there is a faultline there this could have something to do with why there is a pile of boulders there..........Just saying.
