Mysterious hole on the ocean floor off California's coast

On the sea bottom off the coast of central California lies a vast field of mysterious pockmarks. The field spans about 1,300 square kilometers and there are approximately 5,200 of these strange pits, which on average measure about 175 meters and 5 m deep. No one knows how these mystery holes appeared, but they likely made their first appearance 400,000 years ago, according to research.

If we view the Earth as a living organism these "holes" would be considered 'pores'.
