zeitgeist57 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 In FL, at least: 1) Limestone bedrock 2) Rising sea level affecting water table 3) Limestone erosion from underground aquifers 4) SINKHOLE Anywhere else in the midwest, I blame FRACKING for introducing millions of gallons of pressurized water from hundreds of new wells to underground fault lines.

Benner Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Had one that formed at my dad's old church in the parking lot. When the asphalt finally gave way it opened up into a small cavern that was probly 6 feet deep and 4 feet wide. Luckily it was during the middle of the week and no cars/people were present.

nurkvinny Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Lay billions of square feet of pavement and concrete and shit will erode underneath it. Add decades on top of billions of square feet... get sinkholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 There's one in Guatemala a while back that was over 300 feet deep. IIRC, that was caused by humans, not strictly nature. I'm too lazy to look right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
