In time for you weekend enjoyment, here is WoGE 439:
As usual, find the location and post its geological or hydrological significance. You probably won't find this one by brute force . . . .
Cheers,
Nick
Second hint (April 14) - here's a closeup:

Okay, first hint: which way will water drain?
ReplyDeleteIt's a little bit quiet here?
ReplyDeleteI agree. A bit of lively discussion might be in order.
ReplyDeleteIt might be, that your picture is hard to find, as we do not have much structure on it, which means that we have to search with a very small scale.
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh; that might well be a problem. I'll start with "structure" (see new hint), but if it's still unanswered next week I'll post a much more zoomed-out satellite image with traditional high-contrast features.
ReplyDeleteHi Nicholas,
ReplyDeleteYou are almost beating my long time record at WoGE#368 :)
11 S 628627.15 E, 3906019.25 m N, Cima Dome is the place you were asked.
From wiki:
Cima Dome is a broad sloping upland dome, the erosional remnant of granite plutons that formed deep under the Earth's surface 180 - 80 million years ago [2] when the Farallon Plate was being subducted beneath the North American Plate.
The Dome rises 1,500 feet (460 m) above the volcanic plain, 2,132 to 4,950 feet (650 to 1,509 m) high, and covers 70-square-mile (180 km2). Cima Dome is an extremely symmetric dome of this granitic formation type, and one of the most visible ones by being in open desert plains.
Congrats on solving a diabolical one! The next WoGE is yours.
Deletecongratulations Kubilay!
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys,
