Turkey’s central Anatolian plateau is one of the country’s most important ag regions, producing wheat, maize, sugar beet and other crops. Yet beneath its cultivated fields, the ground is becoming increasingly unstable.'

There's a road in south Johannesburg that has been completely abandoned to illegal mining. James Oatway's drone photos show just how nuts it is.
But while zama zamas are being blamed for everything from sinkholes to mass shootings, experts say they are being scapegoated for much of that.

You be super careful. Those dry washes have been filling quickly lately. Keep an eye out for sinkholes, too. And rockslides. Idk, could you just go inside?

'Large sinkholes, some tens of metres wide and deep, have appeared across the Konya basin, swallowing farmland, and threatening nearby roads and settlements.
These collapses can occur suddenly, sometimes in fields that have been cultivated for generations. Around 20 are opening up every year'

'Known locally as obruks, sinkholes are not a new geological phenomenon. …but they have become far more frequent over recent decades.
...Their recent instability, however, is occurring within a groundwater system profoundly altered by human activity and increasingly exposed to drought.'

'…groundwater also puts stress on u'ground geological formations. The Konya basin contains extensive carbonate rocks, incl limestone. Over long periods, groundwater circulating through fractures dissolves minerals & enlarges openings… Sinkholes form when material above such voids becomes unstable.'
