Chapter Two - Sinkholes “There you are! We’ve been waiting forever. We thought you both died or something!” Kourtney Karranza cried. “We’re fine Kourt.” Kirsten laughed as she took off her backpack. “Did you get any good pictures Bellamy?” Kourtney asked while Kirsten and Bellamy sat down. “Not as many as I wanted to.” Bellamy shrugged. “Can you pass me that backpack?” He gestured towards a backpack on the left of Kourtney‚ and she passed it over. Bellamy began to search for the sandwiches

Define the key term sinkhole‚ explain how a sinkhole forms‚ and give an example you researched. The text book defines sinkholes as “a depression produced in a region where soluble rock has been removed by groundwater.” According to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection‚ sinkholes form in karst terrain mostly due to the collapse and erosion of surface sediments into underground cavities in the limestone bedrock. Karst is commonly used term referring to the characteristic terrain produced

SINKHOLES Methane Gas Hydrates Scientists at Cardiff University have discovered the presence of large concentrations of methane gas trapped in the ocean floor. This gas is due to dying and decomposing sea organisms‚ or serpentinization. The sediment contains bacteria that produce methane‚ which accumulates as super concentrated methane ice‚ called gas hydrates. The layer of ice traps the methane gas‚ and scientists are studying it as a potential energy source. What is methane? Methane

from the Krs Plateau in Slovenia‚ where karst environments were first studied closely. The Slav people use ‘Krs’ to refere to ‘bare stony ground’. More specifically geomorphology refers to karst as a type of terrain characterised mainly by caves‚ sinkholes and complex drainage networks. The majority of karst formations occur in soluble rocks such as limestone and dolomite (although recent discoveries have revealed karst formations in more resistant rocks such as quartz‚ but are rare) and the reason

The mining company does have a history of the concerns prior to what it amassed in August of 2016. Mosaic has had issues with sinkholes in the past and should have been aware of the risk of mining in an area known for the appearance of these sinkholes. In 1994‚ a sinkhole formed very close to the one that formed in August‚ 2016 and Mosaic was advised to fix the issue. Required to put monitoring equipment on the “704-acre gyp stack”‚ Mosaic should

The dig had been full of surprises‚ trying to move the tools and volunteers safely down the 85-foot sinkhole had been a challenge. Moreover‚ the fossils found were well over 100‚000 years old. The animals included an American lion‚ camel and mammoth. While the discovery in northern Utah was unique with over 300 complete fossils found to date‚ it was minor

The major causes of subsidence are: aquifer system compaction‚ drainage of organic soils‚ underground mining‚ hydrocompaction‚ sinkholes‚ and thawing permafrost (Galloway et al. and InSAR Workshop Summary Report). Recently‚ detection of subsidence areas is determined by Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar‚ InSAR. This technique is beneficial in determining minute changes in

Symbols mean much more than what meets the eye‚ there can be more underneath the symbols. In the fictional novel Tangerine‚ written by Edward Bloor‚ the residents of Lake Windsor do not know the fakeness which is behind them. The sinkhole that swallowed the middle school represents the fakeness behind the Lake Windsor residents. The hole in the Fisher family is represented through the eternal muck fire burning forever.
