Calling 9-1-1 if you can would be your best option if getting stuck in a sinkhole.]]> 2017-03-14 12:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159946301 887768 https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159946488 The Devils Sinkhole located in Rocksprings, Texas, was formed approximately 1 million years ago. ]]> 2017-03-14 12:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159946488 887768 https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159946588 Slightly acidic, slow-moving groundwater carved a huge cavity in 150 million-year-old Edwards Limestone. As nearby valleys cut downward and groundwater levels dropped, the cavity drained. No longer upheld by the water’s buoyant support, the cavern’s ceiling began to collapse and finally broke through to the surface.]]> 2017-03-14 12:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159946588 887768 https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159946833 - 151-foot Statue of Liberty could stand inside the Sinkhole with her torch extending only slightly beyond the surface opening.
- At its widest point some 350 feet below the surface, the sinkhole measures 1,081 feet across—that’s over three football fields placed end to end.
- The first documented foray into the depths of the Sinkhole dates to 1889, when H.S. Barber carved his name and the date into a rock at the bottom. - Some native groups considered such earthly openings sacred as the emergence points of life and used subterranean features like sinkholes as final resting places for the dead.]]> 2017-03-14 12:06:01 UTC https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159946833 887768 https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159947576 2017-03-14 12:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159947576 887768 https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159947704 2017-03-14 12:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159947704 887768 https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159947778 2017-03-14 12:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159947778 887768 https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159947991 2017-03-14 12:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159947991 887768 https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159948131 2017-03-14 12:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159948131 887768 https://padlet.com/887768/4dm4koy79tn2/wish/159948367 http://www.davisventures.net/content/sinkhole-tips
