Another sinkhole has formed in the volcanic field near the Turkish city of Karapınar, according to Haber Turk.

When surface rock dissolves and travels through underground channels in a dissolved state, a sinkhole—typically funnel-shaped—forms.

More and more sinkholes are forming near cities and agricultural areas in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey.

This region grows water-intensive crops such as corn and clover.

Combined with high levels of wind erosion, this contributes to the formation of sinkholes.

In the region’s karst topography, shaped by the dissolution of rock, small underground “holes” merge over time, eventually causing the surface layer of soil to collapse.

As of now, more than 100 sinkholes have been recorded in the Karapınar area.

Fortunately, no one has suffered damage thus far, but anything could happen at any time.
