A bubbling mud pool threatens infrastructure in California

The video discusses a geyser known as 'the slow one' located near the San Andreas Fault in California. It explains how seismic activity has led to the formation of this geyser, resulting in boiling mud pools. The mud has been moving at an unprecedented rate, threatening infrastructure such as railroads, pipelines, and highways. Despite efforts to contain it, the mud continues to pose significant risks.

What natural phenomenon is responsible for the creation of the geyser known as 'the slow one'?

• Seismic activity

• Tidal waves

• Tornadoes

• Volcanic eruptions

How did the movement rate of the mud from the geyser change over time?

• It slowed down significantly

• It stopped completely

• It increased from 18 meters over a few months to the same distance in a day

• It remained constant

What was the initial distance covered by the mud from the geyser over a few months?

• 30 meters

• 25 meters

• 18 meters

• 10 meters

What was one of the measures taken to address the mud flow reaching the railroad tracks?

• Diverting the mud flow

• Constructing temporary tracks

• Building a dam

• Installing warning signs

Which of the following infrastructures is NOT mentioned as being at risk from the mud flow?

• Petroleum pipeline

• Fiber optic telecommunication lines

• Nearby airport

• Portion of a nearby highway
