Geological Surveys Database Publications. Sinkholes and sinkhole probability. A fossil sinkhole. Because of the presence of large amounts of soluble rock salt and gypsum in the Permian formations of western Oklahoma, sinkholes are common throughout much of that area. In many instances the walls of these sinkholes are nearly vertical. Groundwater, percolating through the Permian rocks, Sinkholes, Hockessin area, Delaware.
Jeremy had to be rescued by authorities as the ground crumbled around him. And few months after that, in August, a foot-wide sinkhole formed under a resort near Disney World in Orlando. Florida is familiar with sinkholes. More than 6, sinkhole insurance claims are reported each year in the Sunshine State, BBC reported in But sinkhole-related deaths are rare in the state. Sinkholes are common where the rock below the land surface is limestone, carbonate rock, salt beds, or rocks that can naturally be dissolved by groundwater circulating through them, according to United States Geological Survey.
In Florida there are caverns below ground of limestone, so when it rains, much of the water collects underground, where it drains into the subsurface and dissolves the limestone. Often when limestones dissolve, cavities are created in the subsurface and sand and mud gets washed into these cavities, according to BBC. But not always. Over time, the cavity breaches the ground surface and causes a sudden collapse.
Already a subscriber? Monitor journalism changes lives because we open that too-small box that most people think they live in. We believe news can and should expand a sense of identity and possibility beyond narrow conventional expectations. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. But you know what?
We change lives. We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. And we can prove it. Your subscription to The Christian Science Monitor has expired.
