  • Thanks for watching. I was there 5 minutes before it started. Came across a couple of people looking like bird watchers. I wasn't sure if it was just a trickle or would stop. And, If you thought I was stupid for standing in front of it.... One of the most fascinating things was this guy sitting on the rocks about 75 yrs south (to the right). While the cliff was not falling over there, everyone was yelling at him to get away from the cliff. When i started filming he was still there, I kept panning to the right to see if he had moved. Fortunately he did, and a couple minutes later where he stood was 6 feed covered in rocks. I saw him on the way out, told him what i saw, and said he was the luckyest man on the beach. :-) There's just a little more video, but nothing as exciting, it almost stopped when i turned off this clip.

    I’ve been telling this to my friends for years. Californias coast has always been this way it’s natural and it’s how it’s supposed to work. The problem is they built a bunch of houses and businesses right by these cliffs and they’re shocked that it’s eroding. Like it hasn’t been doing that for the thousands of years.
    The funniest part is I’m not even from San Diego. I’m from Chicago and I’ve just lived out there for 10 years and actually put in some effort to learn about where I moved to. But people who’ve lived there for their entire life don’t understand this.

    Hey there from Colorado! Super intriguing video. I seen a few rock fall, landslide, rock slide etc., thus far. Typically those things occur either with big rains, obviously not going on in the vid or in the spring/fall seasons during the melt/freeze cycles. Also, our mass wasting, as i have seems, tends to be a little movement then a bigger chunk suddenly and that's about it. That slope was going like a fireworks show building up crescendo-like to the finale!

    This is great, thank you Mark. You can see the rupture line in the beach at the bottom of your picture from the beginning. Then at 9:26 you can start to see the head scarp of the fault near the top left of our picture. The rocks and rubble sliding on the surface is just window dressing. Because at that point the whole mass of the slope fails and rotates, sliding down the head scarp and heaving up at the front of the fault. And to think that this action has happened countless times to form the cliffs along the California beach.

    Edit: I’ve since seen other videos that capture where this person stopped recording, and it’s clear to me now that there was a landslide occurring the entire time, and these little rockfalls recorded here were just the surface expression of the beginning of rotation at the head of the landslide. The bulk of the cliff was separating extremely slowly from the rest of it, and this caused loose rocks already exposed on the cliff to fall early on. Unfortunately this video cuts off too early. In other videos you can see the toe of the landslide get thrust out in front onto the beach and the whole hillside rotates.
    Strictly speaking this was a series of rockfalls, not a landslide. A landslide occurs when an entire section of a highland calves off, leaving a headscarp behind. The scarp is actually the top of a kind of normal fault which continues under the bulk of the landslide and flattens out at the bottom (we call this type of curving fault “listric”), until it completely flattens into a sub horizontal detachment. The landslide block rotates long this curving, listric fault, with the top of the landslide in extension, causing incompetent larger pieces of the rotating block to break off into multiple individually competent smaller pieces. Towers the base of the slide the block is in compression, as the hanging wall (the slide) is being thrust over the sub horizontal detachment below it. Usually this part of the slide will completely liquify and result in chaotic, hummocky terrain that can run out very far from the original base of the hill. The front of the slide is called the “toe”. What we’re seeing here are just a series of cascading rockfalls, not a landslide. Although at times you can observe some landslide -like behavior in the talus that gets deposited at the bottom.
    Towards the end of the video, the videographer says “the whole cliff is moving”. That is an indication of an actual landslide event occurring. Unfortunately, the video cuts off just then. :(

    We were camping recently at a remote beach in Australia, and I went for a solo walk on a 10 mile long desolate beach. I came across a tiny cave which you had to crawl to explore, and I was tempted to do it. However when I looked up, there was a well-eroded vertical wall of compacted sand right above the small cave, about 15 feet high. There was nobody else on the beach as far as I can see. I weighed the risk... if it collapsed while I was inside, I'd be in big trouble, nobody would have known what really happened to me... and I'd maybe become a case study for future archeologists thousands of years later.

    Chapter One in Aron Ralston's book '127 Hours Between a Rock and a Hard Place' is named "Geologic Time Includes Now". The point being that we rarely notice the small changes in geology occurring around us all the time (a slight shift of a rock in the book). Occasionally we get to see something as fantastic as the mountains crumbling into the sea.
