Living in Orlando, we’re fairly used to seeing sinkholes, but often we forget the reasons sinkholes form. To put it simply, a sinkhole is a natural depression caused by the removal of soil BY WATER.

With that in mind, take a look at what has to be the most devastating sinkhole in history.

Guatemala Sinkhole

These images are of a real sinkhole in Guatemala, released by the Government of Guatemala.

This huge Guatemala crater according to Gizmodo “is a natural depression caused by the removal of soil by water. This process can happen slowly, but sometimes the land just cracks open. In this case, the sinkhole happened suddenly.”
