In the city of Karapinar Turkey a crater formed about 100 meters in diameter and 12 to 15 meters deep.
This geological phenomenon in the Turkish province of Konya occurred a few days after an earthquake hit the region. where about 44,000 people died from the earthquake.
A round hole in the middle of a field several meters deep: these are the sinkholes of Konya, a province in central Anatolia, where irrigated agriculture caused a geological phenomenon that becomes a serious danger.
Perfectly round and with vertical walls, these holes give the impression that the earth has swallowed up what was on the surface.
Funnels, usually ten to thirty meters in diameter and up to 30 or 40 meters deep, They usually appear from one day to the next. in the crops of the vast plain of Konya.
At the moment there are no accidents. In a similar failure, which was located some time ago in Inoba, with a diameter of 24 meters and a depth of 35 meters.no one fell, neither people nor animalspointed out Ibrahim, a worker from a nearby farm.
He remembers that the sinkhole, surrounded by a rickety fence, formed in 2008, he tells EFE.
Also, other sinkholes in Konya are protected only by the remnants of barbed wire.and are practically invisible in the middle of the field until you come a few meters from the edge.
The geological phenomenon is due to the fact that the area consists of limestone rocks with sediments that contain phreatic layers and that may collapse if a gap is formeddragging the ground down.
