Summary
editDescriptionBlackhawk Landslide, California (ASTER).jpg |
English: The Blackhawk landslide, Lucerne Valley, California, is a lobe of marble breccia, 10 to 30 metres (33 to 98 ft) thick, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) wide, and nearly 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) long. Geologic evidence shows that the rockslide came down the gently inclined slope as a nearly monolithic sheet moving more than 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph). The accepted hypothesis is that the slide was lubricated by a layer of compressed air. At least two earlier similar but smaller rockslides have occurred in the area. The south-looking perspective view image was acquired on September 22, 2014, and is located at 34.4 degrees north, 116.7 degrees west. |
