After reading about how most of the lava that erupted transformed into cinders
that fell near the vent and formed the core, I can't help but wonder just
how far away from the vent some of those cinders landed. I could find the answer
to that question by scouring the surrounding area for any traces of lava and measuring
the distance between it and Split Cinder Cone.

Amargosa Chaos
I would like to know the root cause behind the deformational events that shaped
the Amargosa Chaos. I could consult a geological map that shows if there are any
fault lines in the area which could explain why these deformational events occurred.

Shoreline Butte
Since Shoreline Butte is located along the edge of what once used to be a lake
I'm curious as to what kind of marine life, if any, resided in Lake Manly. The
discovery of any fossils near Shoreline Butte would help me determine the types
of organisms that called that area home.
