FIGURE 9.55
Believed triggered by an earthquake some thousands of years ago, an enormous portion of the rim of the Bolivian altiplano, roughly 9 km across
(photo right), slipped loose and flowed down the valley of the Rio Achocallo into the Rio La Paz, for a total distance of over 25 km (photo left). The
flow is apparent in the photo as the light-colored area in the valley.
