Question 3 1/1pts Stop 6b presents an image of what looks to be “bathtub” rings. This view is taken from Highway 395. What are those lines? Beach deposits that formed historically as Owens Lake dried up when Los Angeles started its water diversion. Debris flow deposits left when giant flash floods raced across the lake. A place where teenagers go to race motorcycles. Shorelines of an ice age lake that once occupied this basin. Yes. Sand is easily moved by lake waves. So as the level of Owens Lake kept dropping, waves moved the sand to create these historic strand lines.
