 | Did you know that there is a difference between landslides and sinkholes? | |
|
| Yes, but they are also similar. For example both landslides and sinkholes form as a result of precipitation and gravity. | |

| That is a very good point. But i think that the differences are more important then the similarities. Let me explain. Landslides is a movement of mass rock due to gravity and Sinkholes are pits in the ground that form in areas where water gathers without external drainage. | |
|
| I see what you point is. Could you give another example? | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Yes of course. Sinkholes can be natural or man-made. The USGS reports that " Many sinkholes form from human activity" | |
|
| Wow! That is very interesting. So you are saying that we just need to be careful snd make sure that our property is hole and crack free. toprevent this. | |
