Overseas Network, September 23. According to a report by Fox News on September 22, the U.S. National Park Service stated that the shock wave caused by a previous 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Mexico caused a "desert tsunami" in Devils Hole in Death Valley, 1,500 miles (approximately 2,414 kilometers) away.

The U.S. National Park Service stated that 22 minutes after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Mexico on the 19th, Devil's Cave in Death Valley National Park in Nevada, USA, experienced a surprising "desert tsunami" due to shock waves. The vibrations stirred up waves as high as 4 feet (1.2 meters).
Death Valley is located in the Mojave Desert, one of the hottest places in the United States and even the world. Devil's Hole is a partially water-filled limestone cave hundreds of feet deep. This is home to the endangered Devil's Hole Killifish, which relies on algae growing in the sunlit shallows as a food source. As of March this year, the number of killifish in Devil's Hole has increased from 35 in the early days to 175. The agency said the waves caused by the shaking stirred up rocks and sediments on the shallow continental shelf and took away most of the algae, which will limit the amount of food available to the Devil's Hole killifish in the short term.
