Death Valley in the United States to obtain the name of that terrible not without cause. The valley was even able to turn into hell in the near future.
Recent research suggests that the region which lies on the border of the State of California and Nevada is hiding kitchens magma to erupt. This basin is the hottest and driest areas in North America.

In 1913, temperatures in this region reached 57.7 degrees Celsius, slightly lower than the record high temperature of the hottest area of 57.8 degrees Celsius in Aziziya, Libya, in 1922.
Rocks scattered in this barren region known store of gold and silver. Therefore, many miners amateur trying to explore this area to dredge the earth that is not much ogled Timbisha tribal inhabitants of the desert. But the precious mineral is not only stored in the region.
At a depth of several kilometers below the desert, researchers continue to indicate the presence of magma moving closer to the surface. Approximately 800 years ago, this hot material touch the ground water layer. The result, there was an explosion.
The group of researchers from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University explains the frightening sight during this event. Mixing with the magma heat increases the temperature of ground water, and followed with increasing subsurface pressures that drive land on it and appears to be an explosion.

Scattering ground to air led to the emergence of the crater as deep as 240 meters which is now known as Ubehebe. The diameter of the crater created by reaching 800 meters.

By ground water pressure also causes the emergence of a deadly gas giant mushroom shaped like a nuclear bomb. On the surface, the gas travels at a speed of 200 meters per hour.
"The view is impressive. To be safe, be seen from a distance of 16 kilometers from the scene," said researchers from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Brent Goehring.
Chemical evidence of rock samples collected around the crater showing the crater eruption is a recurrent events every 1,000 years. At the crater Ubehebe, last eruption occurred around the year 1300.
According to the professor of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Nicholas Christie-Blick, "notes this makes the event different from the next eruption thin in geological time scale. The notion that Ubehebe had expired baseless," said Blick. *** [LIVESCIENCE | ANTON WILLIAM | KORAN TEMPO 3775]
