Why the Ground Is Collapsing All Over the World Right Now

Around the world, roads are cracking, neighborhoods are sinking, and enormous holes are suddenly appearing where solid ground once stood. Scientists say the problem is becoming more common as groundwater is pumped faster than it can be replaced, underground caverns collapse, melting permafrost destabilizes the land, and extreme weather reshapes the surface in unexpected ways. Some of the largest sinkholes have swallowed homes, highways, and entire sections of cities, leaving experts scrambling to understand why these dramatic collapses are happening more often. New research suggests that both natural geological processes and human activity are accelerating the problem in many regions across the globe. This video explores why the ground is collapsing in so many places right now, the science behind these shocking events, and what they reveal about the hidden world beneath our feet.
