IT'S SPRING SEASON

摘要

The local meteorologist at a T.V. station in Los Angeles points to a brown mass on the weather screen, then his arm motions downward as a future forecast puts the earthy tone blob further south in a couple of days. A mud spring warning has been issued. With fault lines ripping the landscape in the state of California, the area on the east side of the Imperial Valley is now prone to a phenomena called "mud springs".The venting of carbon dioxide gas pushes groundwater to the surface, forming the natural wonder. Following a series of earthquakes in the Brawley Seismic Zone,the Mundo mud spring began moving in a southwesterly direction towards Union Pacific's California-to-Texas mainline that parallels the eastern shore of the Salton Sea. It soon overtook the tracks, creating a problem that no one had encountered before, not even in California.
