Sinkholes and internal erosion
- Some of the most complex civil engineering problems stem from the interaction of water and the ground. It sounds mundane, but there's a good chance you've seen one of these on the news. How's it possible for the ground to simply open up and indiscriminately swallow anything or anyone that happens to be around? I'm Grady and this is Practical Engineering. On today's episode, we're talking about sinkholes. (upbeat music) (soft music) We all know about erosion. This is the process that takes soil and rock from the Earth's crust and moves it somewhere else. There's a lot of ways this can happen, wind, landslides, abrasion, and scour, but here's the thing. None of it compares to just the movement of water. Water is the great eroder. If you ever find yourself wondering, how did this particular feature of the Earth come to be here or why is the ground shaped like so, or just why are things the way that they are? More often than not, the answer is pretty much just water. The ability of…
