A severely deformed California street with no known cause

In just 3 days, from November 19, the Vasquez Canyon highway in California fell into heavy warping and distortion without a clear reason.

The Vasquez Canyon highway in California is mysteriously deformed

A highway in Santa Clarita , California was forced to cease operation after falling into a state of cracking and deforming since November 19. Currently, local authorities warn people not to go. on this road for safety reasons.

According to CBS Los Angeles, more than 60 meters of the Vasquez Canyon highway are in warping, with some positions rising to 4.5 meters.

"Cracks continue to expand, and at the hillside next to the road that appears to be landslides, this road makes the road become more and more taller" - Mr. Steven Frasher responded in one interview with the press.

Until now, there is no definite explanation for the cause of this situation.

Professor Jeremy Boyce, along with a group of his geology students at the University of Los Angeles, came to investigate this path, and was quite confused at the geological situation that happened here.

Road before and after deformed.

"There is no recent storm or earthquake to cause this situation," said the professor.
"When it comes to geology, we often think of the transformation processes that took place from millions to billions of years. But thanks to this trip, I have the opportunity to show my students that geomorphologic changes. substance can also take place in the blink of an eye. "

Geology professor Vincent Devlahovich said that the cause of this situation is because the surrounding rocks fall into the state of saturated rain water, thereby causing the road to be warped and deformed . Although there are still not many valid evidence, but this seems to be the most reasonable explanation at this time.
