tar pit
A tar pit, or more accurately known as an asphalt pit or asphalt lake, is a type of petroleum seep where subterranean bitumen leaks to the surface, creating a large area of natural asphalt. This happens because, after the material reaches the surface, its lighter components vaporize, leaving only the thick asphalt.
==Known tar pits==
There are only a few known large asphalt lakes worldwide:
* Pitch Lake at La Brea, Trinidad and Tobago
* Lake Bermudez at Libertador, Estado Sucre, Venezuela
* La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California, US
* McKittrick Tar Pits at McKittrick near Bakersfield, California, US
* Carpinteria Tar Pits at Carpinteria, Santa Barbara County, California, US
