Entrance to the underworld in Mexico
Geodynamic process called karst collapse, which occurs mainly in
carbonate rocks (limestone, dolomite, etc.) as a result of leaching and water leaching of rocks (both surface and underground). The failure of the Guatemalan depth related forms of karst (karst). Voids are formed at depth and at a certain moment there is subsidence (collapse) the earth's surface.
This phenomenon is not mysterious, as is written media. Such phenomena are distributed worldwide. In particular (we will not go far) in the Leningrad region on the Ingrian plain (plateau), where the development of carbonate rocks of Ordovician age. There are processes active karst.
According to experts, there was a giant hole of the tropical cyclone "Agatha," which caused landslides and flooding. June 1, 2010.
