Scientists Say Massachusetts Is Hiding Something HUGE Beneath the Surface

Massachusetts may look familiar on the surface — but underneath it is a geological world most people never see.

Cape Cod was largely built from Ice Age sediment and contains enormous freshwater lenses moving through sand and gravel. Western Massachusetts preserves lava flows hundreds of feet thick from the breakup of Pangaea, while historical earthquakes near Cape Ann and Newbury show that even New England is not completely geologically quiet.

In this video, DiscoverTube investigates 20 discoveries revealing the hidden Massachusetts beneath the map.

We explore Cape Cod’s underground freshwater system, kettle ponds connected directly to the aquifer, buried glacial valleys, ancient volcanic rock, earthquake hazards beneath New England, Boston’s artificial fill, saltwater intrusion, and a coastline that is still being reshaped by the Atlantic today.

Massachusetts may be one of America’s oldest states historically.

But geologically, its landscape is still changing.
