Travel inside a sinkhole

[@shaldana]

"And someone living on top of this would be in danger?" Uh.. no. They'd be absolutely safe. What a stupid question.

[@UwU-lo4dv]

Haha I laughed out loud when he asked that. I was like "Are you fucking kidding?".

[@binishulman8655]

it depends how deep beneath the surface the sinkhole is. Most are too deep to be of concern.

you're so smart

Seeing a sinkhole makes my skin crawl

[@TheBushdoctor68]

That's not a sinkhole, that's a tourist attraction. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a McDonalds down there. Want to impress us? Then go down a sinkhole that just swallowed a street and some houses.

Hey

Cave explorers like myself have the assistance of NASA. After we find unknown life and minerals. Feel free to wait until NASA finds a use for yourself.

[@BMarie774]

And here I am. Sitting on my bed, in Florida, paranoid there's a giant hole under my house, ready to collapse in at any moment.

[@jcee2259]

Could be worse. Like the San Francisco luxury high-rise that now is both sinking and tilting 2 feet from where it had been when residents began moving in.

[@BMarie774]

J Cee2 well yeah, true. But considering Florida it’s still super paranoid to be knowing these sink holes are all over, developed with zero warning, and most people mistake the signs of them because the signs are often the same as normal weathering here in Florida.

[@cynthiapowell4245]

I believe we're all the same age when it concerns the fear of sinkholes.

[@jcee2259]

Not me. I find sinkholes interesting and often dig open an entry to what it hides. I was invited to party in 2021 with cave explorers who had made more than 150 miles of cartography in just one cave.

[@Chrisss2112]

Well said Cynthia 👍

we drilled into salt water river about 2000 ft. down flowing from the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico. We logged the well . the river was about 25 FT deep but the width was off the chart.

[@SeanMcArdleCertifiedAdult]

Wait this was under Florida?

[@abelucious]

Before 2010, the presence of sinkholes was a relatively uncommon phenomenon. In the last 5 years there have been an unprecedented number of new sinkholes appearing around the planet on a size and scale never before seen. As of 2016, there are new ones opening up every day. Not an isolated phenomenon, sinkholes are integrally linked to the emergence of other dramatic earth changes including increased earthquake activity, volcano eruptions, strange sounds and extreme weather events. The emergence of so many sinkholes in such a short time is just one of many apparent portents of likely drastic changes to come. As they say - being forewarned is forearmed, and those who do not pay attention to the present become dreams of the past!

'...How common these are'... this sounds like the South Park episodes when they say 'cows turn themselves inside out all the time'. It's amazing that it is so common but almost no one knew about it till it started happening. Why haven't they stopped people from building houses on top of these things? Why are officials so surprised when it happens?

I have actually gone diving in there. They didn't show very much in this. There are gated off cave entrances closer to the bottom, & one are that they could not gate off had a warning not to enter & a number indicating how many people went in & didn't come back out. I love diving, but I stay away from things like that!

So would it be safe to say before you build a house any where in Florida you should maybe has some kind of ground Doppler study done to check the integrity of the ground, if the even exists.

I agree Christel.. the effect of surrounding geography on tastes & contents of natural water makes a huge difference. I am sorry to hear what you had to go through in WV.

As a National Speleological Society member since 1964 travel inside a sinkhole has been my chief interest. NASA said what we do has future applications... on moons and other planets. Please wait to hear from NASA what your own interests can do for our future.

[@AlkalineGamingHD]

Sad fact for Florida is that the best way to combat this is to install systems that shunt rain water away from the home. Worst part is trying to convince all the retired geezers in Florida to do anything!

Eventually the entire state of Florida will be underwater.

[@RoM1il]

No. In simple terms, the amount of heat and pressure that is generated as you increase depth heavily outweighs any erosional feature caused by water. Water itself will not be present as you reach the Mantle of the Earth. The boundary called the Moho. This may look like a big hole, but in terms of the Earth it is irrelevant. Take a volcano for example, it's magma chamber is gigantic!
