Morro Rock, CA

Morro rock is the first underwater volcano that we will look at today. It is 581 feet tall. It was formed about 23 million years ago when two tectonic plates pulled apart (divergent boundary), and lava comes up, as it meets the water, it turns into rock. If it is on one side of the boundary, it will go that direction, but the other side will go the other way, so it ends up building up all the way to the surface. It occurs along a divergent boundary.
It is part of the series of extinct volcanoes called the Nine Sisters. Morro rock is the plug for the volcano beneath it.
We stay at the Bungalow Inn, near the rock. The sunset silhouettes the rock, with birds flying around it. The rock reflects in the dark blue water, along with the clouds. After watching the beautiful sunset, we walk back to the Inn along the beach. The rooms are pretty nice, with the windows open, a nice warm breeze constantly flows through the room, carrying with it the salty scent of the ocean.
