Mount Umunhum
Mt. Umunhum comprises of a geologic arrangement that is known as the Coast Range Ophiolite. This ophiolite is a bit of Middle Jurassic maritime hull and mantle that has been obducted onto land and to a great extent been changed over to serpentinite. It has been broadly blamed and diapirically elevated and dissolved to frame Mt. Umunhum and broad outcrop zones all through the Santa Cruz Mountain lower regions and somewhere else. The Coast Range Ophiolite is additionally known to underlie the stones of the Great Valley all through focal California. The introduction on the upper east face of Mt.Umunhum is a standout amongst the best Bay Area exposures of the Coast Range Ophiolite.
The mountain is bested by an eight and a half story (84.5 feet tall) solid radar tower (5 stories inside), referred to locally as "the Cube" or "the Box".The tower was a piece of Almaden Air Force Station, a radar reconnaissance post which worked from 1958 to 1980.[8] The Cube, which housed a 85.5-ton A/FPS-24 radar, was finished in 1962 and used to look for unfriendly flying machine during the Cold War. Its sign put an electronic zoom into each radio, TV and sound framework inside its 250-mile extend on each pivot.
