About This Tool
Sinkholes are mostly derived from surface movement and are mostly formed by surface water flowing into an underground inlet that forms a sinkhole similar to a funnel. Such Sinkholes can absorb a large amount of surface runoff into the ground and may also cause concentrated seepage of reservoir water. There are numerous Sinkholes in history, distributed in different countries and regions, with different forms and forming times. This random tool compiles a list of 96 of the most famous Sinkholes for geological interest.
These Sinkholes are generated in different countries of the world, and each country gives them specific names and different meanings. Sinkholes are a sign of the direction of the mingqianhe river, because Sinkholes are usually distributed in a linear or zonal pattern along structural lines, fractures and strata. Sinkholes are of great significance to geologists studying the local geography and topography, and it is also one of the important bases for many people to judge the local surface soil.
