Will it come back? I don’t think they know...

“Will it come back? I don’t think they know...”

That’s pretty incredible...I’m counting off the minutes when the “actors” in Hollywood claim its from global warming.

Here's a couple theories...just theories, mind you, because I'm not a geologist. However, I do have some understanding of how stuff works below our feet.

Theory 1- The river is being diverted downward into the ground, where it is filling up cracks and holes. As the water fills, the sheer weight of it could put pressure on fault lines and possibly cause more, or more severe earthquakes.

Theory 2- That water is going down towards places where magma from below is heating the water. If enough of it gets heated, and to a point where the (likely boiling) water generates enough steam, it could return in the form of geysers. Or, if it can't find a way to release the pressure, a large, volcano-like steam explosion.

Any other theories?
