Mystery of the Megaflood

It is truly a mystery how the Scablands were entirely weathered but with the work of a team of geologists, it is easier to trace the source of what ripped through the Pacific Midwest.

• It is believed that the Glacial Lake Missoula was the source of the water and it is the weak integrity of the dam that caused the water to change the landforms into what we see today
• Several geologic features show a change because of a major flood such as valleys, mountains, prairies, rivers, gullies, canyons, "dry falls", caves, a dry waterfall, and a gorge
• It should also be noted that because of the massive scale of the flood, rocks known as "erratics" can be found across the Scablands.
