					<description><![CDATA[Southern California has many faults, some hidden, some very obvious. One of the more fun aspects of geology is to see where the land moves. To witness the power of what Earth can do can be quite awe inspiring. Some features are easily recognizable, such as the San Gabriel Mountains which have somewhat rapidly risen &#8230; <a href="https://www.socalregion.com/sightseeing-faults-in-the-los-angeles-area/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Sightseeing Faults in the Southern California</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Near the southern end of the Salton Sea in the Imperial Valley, you can find some very interesting geological features. Mud volcanoes, slowly &#8220;erupting&#8221; a fine muddy ooze, are some of the evidence of the extreme heat not far below the surface here. Gases, usually carbon dioxide, also emanate from the ground here.
