To hear the audio with this clip, WATCH THE 15-second VIDEO.

Hour-long "nature" VIDEO located here.

At some time in the future, Palm Springs, Calexico, Mexicali, the Salton Sea and the Coachella Valley will all disappear, being swallowed up by the Sea of Cortez as the Baja Peninsula rips further away from the mainland along the San Andreas fault. Note how the blue Sea of Cortez migrates northward merging with the Salton Sea and the south side of the fault (Baja & San Diego) crashes into the Los Angeles basin as it twists and contorts along the fault zone. The "past" geologic animation is near the beginning of the movie; the "future" geologic animation is near the end.

Note that HULU does insert an occasional brief commercial advertisement. BELOW animated GIF is big and may take a moment to load.
