==Geography== [[Image:Salton Sea homes.JPG|thumb|left|Abandoned, salt-encrusted structures on the Salton Sea shore at Bombay Beach in 2004.]] Bombay Beach is located in Southern California's [[Sonoran Desert]].<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref> Bombay Beach is located on the east shore of the [[Salton Sea]] and, like many communities along its shores, has had to contend with fluctuating water levels, reducing size of the lake and increasing salinity. A berm was built in the 1970s to protect the west end of the town, but a portion of the town beyond the berm was either submerged or half-buried in mud.<ref>[http://www.polarinertia.com/july03/salton.htm Polar Inertia]</ref><ref>[http://www.legendsofamerica.com/ca-saltonsea.html Salton Sea - Ghost Town Lake in the Desert]</ref><ref>[https://www.desertusa.com/salton-sea/bombay-beach-ca.html Bombay Beach CA Rediscovered]</ref> Bombay Beach marks the southern end of the [[San Andreas Fault]], where the southern terminus of the San Andreas transitions into the [[Brawley Seismic Zone]].<ref>[http://www.thulescientific.com/san-andreas-fault-map.html Interactive Map of the San Andreas Fault - Thule Scientific]</ref> {{clear}}
