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!
Thanks is danke, if i remember correctly.
Danke Leute!
"thanks guys" = "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".
Meh, true and not true. Graben and grab share the same etymological history.
Minor correction: The german word for grave is "Grab". "Graben" ist an entirely different word with can be translated as ditch, moat or trench.
Du sagst es, Bruder! 😉
But then again, "Graben" does in fact have the same origin as "Grab"..
@@janina90 well you have to dig a grave or.. du musst ein Grab graben 😉
@@PixieStixx Or you dig a trench.. „einen Graben graben“👆🏼😄
Thank you, I wanted to write this as well
I have no clue as to why, but I have the urge to stick my hand into one of those. The mud looks like it would be so soothing on your skin.
Sure, your "hand"
Very soothing, probably the last thing you’ll feel on that part of your skin. Of course, after it has boiled off.
@@a1r592 I think these mud volcanoes are actually cool, being powered by bubbling CO2. Don't quote me on that though.
I've had 3rd degree burns over 60% of my right hand. That's what I imagine this would feel like.
Either a great discovery or a Darwin award awaits. 😂
Dianna looking for mud volcanoes: "Occam was a fool! This way, into the shrubbery!"

"Graben" is actually German for ditch or trench
it can also be translated to "dig"
the word for grave would be "Grab"
Danke, wollte ich auch grade schreiben.
yeah just wanted to say that... would be quite surprised if it really came from Grab.... I mean I guess the word Grab (grave) and Graben(ditch) are basically the same in German... but yeah
@@Zyhmet yeah because you have to graben a grab aka dig a grave 😏
@@Zyhmet are "Grab" and "Graben" the same in German?
But then again, "Graben" does in fact have the same origin as "Grab"..
Dianna is having too much fun with mud. First it was a puddle, now it's a volcano. God mud is fascinating!!!
Next, sea? Then ocean, and obviously, planet.
Yeah yeah, we know where this is going - mud bath, mud wrestling, ... 😉
@@nkronert Let's leave the noodle wrestling out of it.
When was the last time you watched kids play in puddles?
@@DrewNorthup that was probably when I was a kid myself, which is ages ago. I have no idea what noodle wrestling is and I'm too scared to look it up 😊

I literally cant get over how amazing Dianna is (as a person and as an educator). I found her many years ago at this point, and I still get giddy when I see shes put up a video. 10/10 would fangirl if I ever meet her. A true inspiration
She's astonishingly good at explaining things, and conveying a lot of information in a short time.
yeah i agree she's hot
You are so suspicious and sus

Im fascinated that youre seemingly everywhere. Hope youve a good day/night
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.

1:15 "Not the person" 😂 good to know! The editing is great
1:32 Made me laugh out loud--literally! Thanks, I needed that!
Also, the mud pots remind me of The Bog of Stench!

No one
Diana: let's go mudding
Louis Litt: 🥲
Your videos are so interesting and fun. Thanks for taking one for the team to make this one. Mud volcanos are fascinating.
It's so refreshing to watch these short vids. Love em!
I'm not saying Dianna's videos are better without PBS studio... but like they're really more fun
They are. 😁
Yeah. You can go ahead and say it.
Always a good day when Dianna uploads!
Absolutely love the newest videos you have been making
Loving these videos, keep’en coming.
"Graben" is German for Trench (and digging)
"Grab" means Grave 2:39
ROTF "How to Defeat simone giertz" Priceless
so cool. love these kinds of videos. (and I'm sure it was still a fun expedition, even if you didn't get to where you originally wanted to go)
Good on you and your team for being persistent in getting all of this for us!
I drove right past those, but thought they were leftover piles from the mines nearby
WOW, the aesthetics in this video… ✨✨✨
……absolutely stunning
Mmm it’s so gggood….🤤
These last two videos have been so interesting. I never in my life would have known any of this but here I am enjoying watching bubbling mud puddles.
There's a giant mud volcano in Colombia that i got to take a mud bath in. It was wonderful. You cannot sink because the mud is so dense, and it's really warm.
No one:
Diana: Imma go look for mud volcanos!!
Me: Can I come along?
Lots of people are into stuff like that.
My buddy once said, "There was just a fire in the hills. All the vegitation is burnt or dead. I am going to go look at some rocks", and three other people, myself included, wanted to go along.
I never heard "Graben" as a reference for a grave. The noun the best translation would be a ditch, but it could also be a verb (when it's not capitalized) that means "to dig".
yes, she confused it with "Grab" (=grave)
Such a very cool video. There’s a stark beauty to that area. Thanks for sharing
In the '50s we used to water ski on the Salton Sea. It was salty but ok . Then within about 10 years or so we just couldn't stand the saltier lake. It would not be good for the boats either. So we drove the extra miles down to the Colorado River at Blythe. Good Times.
I remember a girl wondering what to do with a physics degree...
A "Grab" is a grave, a "Graben" is a trench in German. Different words. As a verb "graben" means digging, that's probably the origin of both other words.
I love the video and I'll be honest, I missed this kind of video so much.
I'm glad you get to do what you want.
Good for you.
Goddamnit Dianna, these mud videos are so fascinating. Love your topics! Keep it up grrl!
1:33 : “how to defeat Simone Giertz”. I see what you did there, shame on you 🧐
And here I thought all the mud was centered in Sacramento.
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.
:OO I was watching your videos. Funny you posted today :) I like this channel.
She perfectly described how my toe nails grow
Mine too. I tracked it, and they actually grow faster around the full moon.
Every time I see a new upload from this channel it makes my day
I’m graduating this week with my Master’s in Geotechnical Engineering and I’ve really appreciated these last two videos!
love this (new) content! anything geography related will have me clicking at lightning speed
I'm reminded of one of my mapping projects at field camp (10 years ago as of the past few weeks), where it was 90% bentonite clay and it had just rained, which is not a great combination for walking on. It's slippery yet sticks to your shoes, so you have to knock off the clay every so often so your shoes don't become too heavy to walk.
Keep up the good geological work! Love it
Browsing your channel is like going back to school again! Let me benefit for life! Your channel is great! We have learned a lot from you! thank you for your sharing! wish you happy everyday
Really love these geology videos!
This is the sort of quirky, out of the way science I like to see! It's still entertainment, but teases the mind to dig deeper! 😃
I’ve been to these exact same ones and they are very cool. Loved seeing them and it felt surreal seeing them in real life.
I could look at these guys making mud bubbles for hours. Something about the viscosity of the mud is just so very pleasing to the eye
Great little lesson in geology and exploration
There are also hot springs in the area as well...there are also more mud pots on the other side of salton sea lake
Cannot wait for you to get better and start making videos again!!!! You're in my prayers!
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 :) .
I was flying a small plane in the area and it was really weird to see the altimeter go negative as I skimmed the Salton Sea.
Alaska has a semi-frozen mass of plant and soil material that is slowly moving towards the Dalton Highway. It'd be pretty awesome if you get a chance, to do a video about that!
I miss her. It's heart crushing to know that a person as amazing as Dianna has ME/CFS. I read this article about long covid treatments after following any updates on Dianna's health condition for many months now. Heard about this low-dose Naltrexone(LDN) from Australia which seems to be a game changer! I really hope Dianna's friend and husband look into this treatment. Wish you a healthy recovery!🙏🙏
I visited the same spot in January. Super cool. Except I immediately noped out on the new mud pots and went directly to the old ones. Haha.
So super idea and cool stuff
We've quite a few here! They're great to soak in!
It seems that the mud volcanoes that they tried to go to first are marked as the "New Mud Pots" on Google Maps. The concrete blocks at 1:11 are the same ones blocking off Red Hill Rd at the intersection with Garst Rd. The Red Island Volcano, a dormant lava dome volcano, is located off Garst Rd before the intersection, so if you're interested in visiting the area, you could see not one but two peculiar geologic features in one trip. The Red Island Volcano seems much more accessible by road than the mud volcanoes - there's a campground and parking lot on the volcano itself. The road to it is still dirt, so probably don't go in the winter, when it rains the most in southern California.
That mud looks like perfect molding clay!
Thank you for the caption “not the person” when the skull was shown. I was worried. 😆
I saw these in Rotorua, New Zealand a few years ago, and I was so fascinated by them. They look like something out of a sci-fi novel. Earth is amazing. When the aliens finally talk to us, we’re going to have more to share than most of us realize. haha
Really enjoyed this one!
How about if you complete the trifecta and create a video about the volcano (active?) at Red Hill Marina? BTW we spent Sunday looking at the San Andreas fault around Wrightwood. Thank you so much for this video. I want to see the mud volcanos!
I love all of this, especially the Easter eggs
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).
Between this and the moving mud puddle, I have learned that geology is wild and we have so much to learn about the ground under our feet
I LOVE that "Slurpy-Burpy-Bubbly" area and it's mysteries!
There is so much going on down deep there!
3:52 is a very interesting clip, mud volcano and expanding marsh/sea with a power plant in the background. I wonder how many people would be impacted by that power plant failing.
The power plant is likely a geothermal plant given it's located close to those pots.
The fluid dynamics is fascinating
Dag nabbit, I was going to watch some flight videos then clicked on a Physics Girl video, and now I have to watch more. It's like being stuck in the mud, only more fun!
Just found this channel! Really goood!
I just got my perk from the Project for Awesome and it is so much better than I expected.
I'd love to see those things in person, it looks so crazy
Me too! So cool
@@BlinkinFirefly :)
I would love to see a video about/with Simone bile. She is incredible and my engineer-like mind is trying to figure out how she creates so much momentum and shifts her center of gravity to put her so high in the air while still having such control to land on her feet
Actually the transverse fault between the Pacific and North American plate both moves and does not move depending on the location on the fault. Some portions in Southern CA are locked and this leads to the talk about the "big one" happening there. Other portions in the Central Valley south of SF are creeping. And this variable stress along the entire length stretches some parts, like Salton Sea basin and not other's as much leading to this incredible variability in California geology.
Of course there is also the possibility that the southern fault will lock permanently and the division between the plates will move East to Walker Lane.
For more on stress variability across the fault this short AGU article may help: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2005GL025661
2:42 Correction. Graben means Verb: Digging Noun:Trench, (small)Ravine, (small)Canyon
Oh, your Google search had me dying!
They look so cool!
We went to this place today to check it out. It was super awesome!!
Physics Girl!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take us on your next adventure!! That would be so fun!!
I enjoy your content every time very much and as a teacher in public school I present you to my female students as a sort of role model. The topography site is a great tip I certainly will use in my geography class. And while it is right that etymological "Graben" roots in the same word as "grave", wich means "Grab" in German, "Graben" just means trench now.
That's a lot of effort to find some bubbling mud, but no doubt worth it :)
*Graben, the german word for "ditch" ^^
or, if not written with a capital letter in the beginning, its the infinitive of "digging".
Love your Content! Greetings from Austria!
I don't know when you actually visited this area, but if it was within the last two weeks, you were there for the cluster quakes still going on. I monitor them every day and they have been very active the last few days. It is a very interesting place to explore.
Whoa, those mud pots are so much fun to watch.
Good on ya' for not giving up!!! Totally worth it in the end! :D
