The California Volcano Which Split in 2 & Moved 200 Miles Apart; The Neenach Volcano

California has a fascinating geologic oddity which is showcased in Pinnacles National Park. There, is the northern half of a once whole volcano which was split in two and ended up 195 miles north of its other half. This occurred at the Neenach Volcano which is long extinct, and whose other half can be found 25 miles west of the city of Lancaster. This video discusses this oddity and how it involves the San Andreas fault.
