    How do sinkholes engulf entire houses and cities? - Elise Cutts

    Explore the science of sinkholes, how they commonly form, and what human activities can also trigger them.--It was a rainy December morning in San Francisco when the Earth opened up. The ground suddenly fell away into a 12-meter-deep sinkhole that engulfed a garage, part of a street, and a multi-million-dollar mansion. Sinkholes can seem to strike out of nowhere, but they’re more common than people often think. So, how do they form? Elise Cutts details what’s happening just below your feet.Lesson by Elise Cutts, directed by Evandro D'Hipolito.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-do-sinkholes-form-elise-cuttsDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-do-sinkholes-form-elise-cutts/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://evandrodhipolito.myportfolio.comMusic: https://www.wonderboyaudio.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
