If you look at a map of North America, your eyes will likely drift toward massive features like the Great Lakes, Great Plains, or the Rockies. But if you zoom in on the southwestern edge of the continent, you’ll see something that looks almost like a mistake: a long, jagged tear separating the Mexican mainland from a slender finger of land that seems like its trying to escape into the Pacific Ocean.
This is the Gulf of California. And while it might look like a simple geographic feature on a map, the reality of what this body of water actually *is*—and what happens beneath its surface—is one of the most volatile and misunderstood topics in North American geography.
