The rock was formed from the coming together of the San Bernardino and The San Gabriel Mountains because the San Andreas Fault’s tectonics are shifting CA.

Mono Lake

The tufa is an underwater salt creation and it is above water because the water level has gone down exposing the tufa.

The Lake was created by a giant glacier that melted.

Eldest rock formation is in the upper center of the photo, they are the mountains.

The stream is hot because it is right under a fault and the fault heats up and down with the earth’s crust.
