whole world is agog news of unexplained collapses of soil in different parts of the world.Humanity is concerned that the land literally started to slip away from under their feet.Increasingly, there are reports from different countries, which found gaps soil.Of course, people are excited about this problem, but try to ignore it and do not want to talk about it.But it can not go unnoticed that the underground goes playgrounds, houses, roads, cars, garages, etc.In other words, collapsing infrastructure, which is created by man, and often while people are dying.What threatens us these natural disasters?And whether there is involvement of the person?
Many adhere to the version that the Earth thus avenging mankind.After all, a lot of harm to people applied outside world, contaminating and destroying what nature created.
reasons sinkhole
Experts studying the collapse of the soil, argue that the failures of soil occur for the following reasons:
- because of the collapse of the natural voids in the soil;
- due to the fact that underground water erode the soil;
- due to erosion of soil water leakage from pipes;
- due to the fact that abandoned underground structures deteriorate and deform over time;
- due to various construction works are carried out near the possible failure;
- because many resonance phenomena when the soil affects the vibration;
- because of the composition of the soil, if it consists of rocks that dissolve in water.
Consequences sinkhole
most important result of the collapse of the soil is the formation of depressions on the surface.Often such a hole reaches a considerable size and can cause accidents.
example, failures of structures near the ground can lead to the destruction of buildings.If the collapse of the soil occurs on the roadway, it may result in a car accident, leaving the pavement into the ground along with the transport, found themselves in this place.May suffer and railroad tracks with trains passing on them during the sinkhole.All this leads to enormous material damage and loss of life.
How to save our planet from destruction and survive ourselves, if more and more in different places of the soil failures occur that a person is not able to predict and prevent this?
Moscow goes underground
It's no secret that in Russia incidents related to land subsidence, pretty much.Take, for our capital.Only in 2013 there were more than a dozen soil collapses in different parts of Moscow.There were many cases in the subway, when because of the disaster disrupted the movement of underground trains, which led to mass panic passengers.
Consider the most famous sinkhole in Moscow in 2014:
- at the Komsomolsk Avenue pit formed at a crosswalk depth of 15 cm.
- Nikoloyamskaya on the street in the city center there was a depression in the area of the Temple.
- roadway and sidewalks failed on the 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya the restaurant "Khayyam".
- in Tagansky district came just two failure of land in one place near the library name Kliuchevskoi.
- on Rublevsky highway dip formed a diameter of 1 to 1.5 meters.
- on the roadway at the curb in Malaya Ordynka appeared pit depth of 10 cm.
- in the center of Moscow on the street Baltschug occurred sinkhole depth of 1 meter.
collapse of the soil in the capital in 2015
New, 2015, failing to occur, have added a list of places where the soil failures occurred.
So, in February this year in the north-west of Moscow, due to weather conditions well formed of 50 to 30 cm, which is hit by a truck wheel.In March 2015 there was subsidence of the soil outside the 800 anniversary of Moscow, where a garbage truck fell through the asphalt.
last incident recorded March 10, 2015: near the main entrance to the Botanical Gardens have found the pit depth of 20-30 cm.
Other cases of subsidence in Russia
In our country, the best known place, where there was a sinkhole - BereznikiPerm region.Over the 5 years from 2006, when it was flooded potash mine, formed three huge craters with a diameter of 70 to 400 meters.The biggest of them appeared at the factory tehsoli.The second crater was found at the railway station Berezniki, and the third - the building of Berezniki Mine Construction Management.Subsequently, two funnels joined into one.
In 2015, there were reports about the threat of the formation of a new failure in Berezniki in a residential area.Residents of eight houses have been resettled from the danger zone.Area deposited soil is 30 square meters and a depth of 5 meters.
In Russia, such cases are regularly reported.Thus, the known failures of ground in Yakutia, Solikamsk (Perm Territory), Nizhny Novgorod region, Kaliningrad, Ufa and in many other cities.
similar incidents abroad
not remain aloof from this inexplicable cataclysm and other countries.Many of the crater is still a mystery for scientists and specialists who have not yet found their explanations.And many experts are simply afraid to approach the huge pits, fearing for their lives.
most massive sinkhole in the world:
- Ukraine, 1997.In Dnepropetrovsk failed underground nine-story building, a kindergarten, a school and three Khrushchev.In 2008 in Lugansk the same fate befell the apartment on the first floor of the house.
- most global failures occur in China.So, in 2010 for half a year in different parts of the country there were some huge land subsidence.
- Equally ambitious is the failure of the soil in South Africa, which took place in 1962.Then we went completely underground house and a factory.
- In Florida in 2013, the young man fell to the bottom of the dip, which was formed in the middle of the room of his house.
- In Guatemala in 2010, a crater depth of 100 meters, which killed fifteen people, absorbing three-storey building.
USA, Mexico, India, Thailand, China, Ukraine, Russia - this is not the full list of countries that have suffered natural anomaly.We can only hope that all the cataclysms soon find their interpretation, and scientists can learn how to prevent their further occurrence.In the meantime, we live in fear for themselves and their children, who will address the consequences of accidents occurring due to our fault.
