Nou, die tropische stormen brengen wel enorme (echt enorme) hoeveelheden water en als dan de hoofdrioleringen in zo'n grootstedelijk gebied breuken vertonen... Ook de samenstelling van de bodem zal een rol spelen, kan die 'vloeibaar' worden door al het water. Maar idd dan nog: waar moet al dat volume heen?
Ik weet niet meer waar ik het vandaan gehaald heb maar plukte vanmorgen een stukje tekst van een nieuwssite waarin ook deze vragen spelen.En ja: het Engels is -uh - niet goed.
"Guatemala sinkhole has appeared on the northern portion of Guatemala following the oppressive tropical storm Agatha. People of that specific region believed that the sinkhole is caused due to the faulty underground sewage drainage system.
Sinkholes are a natural gorge on the outer layer or crust of the earth. These are cause when the soil is removed and/or base by water. They may as well diverge in range as well as depth, from below a meter up to numerous hundred meters. Their construction has also a wide deviation, from soil-lined bowls to bedrock-edged fissures. Sinkholes are discovered in different part of the world that may develop slowly or unexpectedly.
In the case in Guatemala, the hole crack opens abruptly. A sinkhole like the current giant sinkhole in Guatemela as well appeared a couple of years ago near the territory. While the speculation regarding the faulty underground sewage drainage system might prove to be real in the current case, it may not be the solely rationality. It may as well have something to do with the type as well as humidity level of the soil that this place has. In addition, the amount of weight on top of the deep section of the ground may have as well stimulated the formation of this giant sinkhole.
The storm battered Guatemala along with the other cities of Central America a couple of days ago and brought tremendous flood of water. It stopped on Sunday, however, left numerous of destroyed houses and killed more or less than a hundred individuals."
