         <description><![CDATA[In 1700, a massive earthquake struck the west and northwest coast of the United Sates. Modern scientists first caught wind of the natural disaster through the scars it left on the land—massive, toppled red cedar trees and sand deposits washed far inland. Written records weren’t being kept in that region when the earthquake happened, but several years ago, scientists managed to pinpoint the date of that mysterious earthquake. In 2005, Smithsonian explained how they unraveled the...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[A driver in Hotan, Xinjiang, got a nasty surprise when a three metre sinkhole opened up under his vehicle on Monday, almost swallowing it whole. Luckily the driver was left with only minor injuries, as was his wife and child who were in the car with him. The sinkhole was caused by heavy rainfall in the last few days, according to Xinhua.&nbsp; ShanghaiIst

         <description><![CDATA[The risk of earthquake and tsunamis devastating the coastlines along the western Indian Ocean is greater than previously thought, according to a new report published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Coastlines of Pakistan, Iran, Oman, India and potentially further afield could be at an increased risk, the researchers report, suggesting than an earthquake similar in magnitude to the 9.3-magnitude shocker in Sumatra, Indonesia in 2004 could occur beneath the Arabian Sea and the Makran...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Earth's solid-metal inner core is a key component of the planet, helping to give rise to the magnetic field that protects us from harmful space radiation, but its remoteness from the planet's surface means that there is much we don't know about what goes on down there. But some secrets of the inner core are being revealed by acoustic waves passing through the planet's heart and iron squeezed to enormous pressures in the lab.
Two new studies, both detailed online May 12 in the journal Nature...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[LAKEPORT, Calif., May 13 (UPI) -- As homes in a Lakeport, Calif., subdivision mysteriously sink into the unstable ground, residents say they are abandoning the neighborhood.
Residents have left eight homes in the 29-home hilltop subdivision called Lakeside Heights, and 10 other homes face evacuation, ABC News reported Monday.
A sudden rise in underground water is playing a role in the area's destruction, officials say, but they have been unable to identify an exact cause.
What began as cracks...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[One of the most breathtaking geologic events is a major earthquake. In just a few moments, shaking the planet can result in billions of dollars of damage and thousands of lives lost.
Many earthquakes are related to the movement of tectonic plates, the large chunks of the Earth’s outer surface that move with respect to each other. Plates are “born” in places such as Iceland, where magma comes up from below and creates oceanic plate material. Plates “die” where one plate dives beneath another and...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[In Lakeport, a subdivision about 100 miles north of San Francisco, homeowners are abandoning virtually everything they own.&nbsp; A large sinkhole is slowly devouring their community.
The ground below their homes is disappearing at an unpredictable rate.&nbsp; Sometimes the hole increases by several feet a day, and others at only a fraction of an inch.
At the present time, 8 homes have been evacuated, and 10 more are on notice.&nbsp; The community was established over 30 years ago, and has...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Beth Steffan was terrified the night Tropical Storm Lee let loose its deluge on her North Londonderry Township home in 2011.
She watched from her window as her yard disappeared into a sinkhole, just feet from her house. She listened as her home cracked and creaked and tilted toward the gaping hole in what was once a storm water retention pond.
Her husband Brad eventually made it home from Hershey through the flood waters, and they made their escape. But it was two months before their home was...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Two dogs are okay after being rescued from the bottom of a 40 foot sinkhole near Columbia, Illinois Wednesday.
According to The Independent, two 100 pound Dobermans fell into the hole while walking with their owner on the Stemler Trail.
One firefighter was lowered into the hole, and then using a harness, rope and pulley system secured to a tree, lifted the dogs out of the hole one at a time. CBS

         <description><![CDATA[BROOKSVILLE - Spring Hill leads the state in sinkhole activity and it’s time for Hernando County to appeal to state and federal legislators for relief.
That was the consensus of county commissioners Tuesday who heard staggering statistics from the property appraiser’s office.
Since 2000, the property appraiser’s office has recorded 6,106 sinkhole properties in Hernando County. Of those, 2,726 were repaired and 3,380 went unrepaired.
The board agreed with a recommendation from County...]]></description>
