Death Valley

The death valley in callifornia is one of the hottest places on Earth. The mountains that sorround it radiate extreme heat during the summer, and the highest record temprature in the USA (51.1 degrees C) was in the valleys furnace creek. In the winter however, the valley can drop below freezing. Although there is very little rainfall in the Death Valley, it is prone to flash floods, as the dry ground is unable to absorb water. The valley recieved its name after the callifornian gold rush of the mids 1800's, when it was neccessary for those seeking gold to make dangerous trips across...not everybody made it.

Even though it is hostile, many other wonders are located here. In the death valley lately rocks, which are not touched, seem to be scrapeing across the ground; in fact they are moving. We know this as they are leaving trails behind, and photographic evidence shows.
