Louisiana sinkhole swallow trees

Recommended Posts

The South has been getting quite a few of these sink holes lately. Wonder why? This is pretty cool.

Yeah, I wonder why.... what is the explanation of this? Do you know it?

I think it has somthing to do with the salt layer and the salt domes underground. The layer gets pushed up. If it is drilled into all hell breaks loose. I think this video kinda explains it. I think this is the same place and now the water moves in and out with the tides.

Many thanks to have taken time for the explanation. Makes sense to me and it's really scaring indeed...

With all the rain OwNPY.gif

 

We have been getting (Dang I can't remmber when it hase been rain free here) more sink holes than I have ever seen. - Cars and homes have went down in sink holes down here in the south :(

 

 

I hope it stops raining soon - All the rivers and lakes are over full down here (I don't have a swimming smilie).

I was thinking... perhaps with the huge polar meltdown that push fresh water into the oceans, this salt meltdown is something related. A sort of Earth mechanism to keep ocean water salinity at bay. I've heard that the same phenomena are common in other world region as well. And it's weird to see that the one of he most 'salted' area is exactly in front of the Gulf of Mexico... I'm not a scientist for sure, but that keeps me wonder....

In the image in the popup, that I've not been able to embed as there is some kind of app in it, you may better see the relation between salinity and El Nino or La Nina.

That's actually desalination. Little different. This is actually a salt layer in the Earths crust. There are tons of underground/underwater caves that go on for miles. If you see one of the videos talking how the sinkhole broke into one of the caves that reaches the Gulf, thus giving the swamp the tides.

That's exactly my point. Desalination that is counteracted by massive salt domes that melt down again into the ocean. In my mind they are not two phenomena, but just one that try to counterbalance itself....now I'm starting to doubt about my capacity to express myself in English... Sorry about that. Hope to have been able to clarify myself better :D

Eh, your English is fine. Mine is rusty and I live in the US. I see it as 2 different forces of nature, that counterbalance. We see the same thing just differently. So its all good.

Oh gosh! Now I get it. I agree with you, they are two distinct forces that counterbalance toward the goal of a new equilibrium. In fact what I have wrongly understood in your previous post was the fact that in your opinion they where not related in any way. So, all good as you say, if I've well understood this time, there is something moving out there... and it's HUGE.

 

From another perspective, this may eliminate a bit of pressure on the engineers that have made the so called 'mistake' in the Lake Peigneur disaster? Perhaps, the phenomena will have produced itself anyway, even without drilling... but, at the end... who knows?

 

Anyway, this is for sure a master disaster in US South Regions... I feel sorry about this...

I've found a self calling 'explanation' that put on the table responsibility about strategic reserves creation and global earth changes...

What do you think about? Even with the growing pressure caused by the drilling, it doesn't sound a valid point seeing the whole scenario as it's developing all over the world. But for sure adds even more danger to the already 'hot' situation in North America.

 

I'm trying to 'dig down' (pun intended) a bit in this 'sinkhole' matter, and even if no one seems to really understand the whole picture, the fact that something is globally going on seems plausible...

Searching a bit about historical sinkhole cases, seems that there are few

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinkhole

but the problem that seems to arise is that never in history so many of them where formed in such short time. My surprise is that, even if someone

http://thesinkhole.org/

is trying to collect them all, I've not found anyone that is truly connecting the dots yet.
