What is the sump?

Sinkhole is a hole or opening on the earth's surface, which is formed due to water erosion below the surface. Sinks usually occur in areas that consist of minerals that are easily eroded with running water, and water erosion is the most common cause of sump. This can be caused by natural water flows or water flows created by man due to poorly produced sewerage systems, broken underground pipes or diverting natural water into new areas. The formation of the sink usually takes quite a long time, but this formation is often imperceptible from the surface, so the look of the sump seems to be sudden and unexpected. Some types of rock are the easiest to eroded with water circulation, including limestone, carbonate rocks and salt beds found below the surface. Sinkhole can only be any size of a small hole only the and meter of one foot (about 30 cm), on massive craters more than 60 feet (more than 18 m) in width and depth.

Seller beds can be particularly problematic in areas with a high concentration of salt water, where underground salty beds had a chance to create for a long time. As water levels drop or retreat, these salt beds are open erosion from water currents and can be completely invisible from the surface. This type of sump can sometimes form in the oceans, called a blue hole, and extends to great depths. Limestone and other carbonate rocks are also relatively easily eroded by moving water around and through them, so that sumps in areas with a high concentration of these rocks are more likely.

Sinkholes are often formed naturally, due to the movements of groundwater under the surface, but can also form because of human intervention. This can often be caused by broken Beneath the Ground pipes. Such pipes usually leak water, and this water can eat on carbonate rock in the area, leading to a much greater problem than leaking pipes.

Water diverted from JEdge areas to the second can also cause a sump. This may be due to the fact that water moves underground in a new area or because of water exhaustion. In some areas, water actually provides an important pressure under the surface and maintains the soil stable. Once the water is exhausted, the Earth is weakened and prone to collapse and formation of the sump.
