  • 2. Ubehebe Crater Death Valley National Park
    Ubehebe Craters is a volcanic field in California. In northern Death Valley, it consists of up to 16 craters in a 3-square-kilometre area. The largest of these craters is the 800 metres wide and 235 metres deep Ubehebe Crater, but many of these craters are partially buried and thus poorly recognizable. Additional volcanic features present include a remnant of a scoria cone as well as a tuff cone. The Ubehebe Craters are associated with a fault system that runs across them. The region has been affected by volcanism for the last 10 million years. The volcanic field is part of the Death Valley National Park and is accessible to tourists. The fault system is within the tectonically active Basin and Range Province physiographic region Various estimates have been put forward for the age of the c...
