How Do Sinkholes Form?

Sinkholes form through both natural and human-made processes.
Most of us think about erosion on the surface of the earth, but erosion can occur in the subsurface as well. In fact, scientist and engineers have a very creative name for just such a process: internal erosion. If just the right factors come together in the subsurface, some very interesting things can occur, including sinkholes.

    It should make you feel better that you’ll probably not die from it, your car probably has lots of safety features that’ll prevent death in this case, including your airbags. I’d only be concerned if you live in a place where your roads are traveled very very rarely, and even then usually someone’ll notice a sinkhole before you’d run out of water down there

    just some of my thoughts so take them with a grain of salt 1. take probes of the soil and excavate and change it if necesarry(very expensive so most likely not often used, if ever) 2. controll the waterflow in the soil better, maybe with some blockades or a waterproof layer, so it cant reach deeper then the engineers want to

    @@MrTwinkieeater Sounds like it may be a cover collapse type sinkhole and may have sealed itself when it collapsed. When to roof of a void or cavern collapses, it can naturally drop the soils from above and like a funnel effect seals itself with the surface soils and materials. You can place stakes on 4 sides at the top and run string tight across to each stake and take periodic measurements in the middle to see if it still shows signs of subsidence. Sounds like you don't have much to worry about since it holds water for long periods of time.

    The drainage erosion holes under an asphalt road can be so big that they get measured in DDBs (Double Decker Buses). I came across a 0.5 DDB hole in Scotland a few years ago and rang the highways department engineer to report it. I gave location and suggested that they quickly measure the volume, then order concrete and fill it up before the road collapses. Next time I passed, what had been a huge hole was just concrete.

    When I was a kid the water pipe coming into our house sprung a leak. They sent someone out to look at it and determined it was on their side of the valve, and decided since it was late Friday and the flow wasn't too bad that they would save some overtime by fixing it Monday. My brother and I played in the water and sand all weekend and had a grand old time! (My back got sunburnt!) Anyway, Monday rolled around and they showed up with a backhoe, which promptly had one of its tires break through and collapse part of the road. By the time they got it out the hole was probably 6 feet across, right in the middle of the road. I suspect they failed on the cost benefit analysis portion overall. I make a point, anytime I see water coming out of somewhere it shouldn't, to make sure whoever is in charge knows about it. The people usually are pretty dismissive, so I tell them that story to give them an idea of what can happen if they don't deal with it quickly.

    You need to make twice as many videos. Some of my favorite videos on the internet are yours.

    That was a neat simplistic way to view the process of sinkhole formation. I have my own thoughts on other things that cause them to form. Like downed foliage that ends up sub surface, or large root systems that are not excavated from the ground, after trees are felled, and are in areas that stay relatively moist and in turn decay leaving voids in the ground. My thinking is that gives a good jump start on the whole thing.

    Thanks, Grady! I couldn't help notice the Teton to Oroville similarities. RE: Surfside FL, I see in the list that rusting rebar in concrete has already been discussed. MAybe in a few months when they have zeroed in on a few aspects you will have a video?
