Update 2: Arizona highway 'sinkhole' is actually a whole mountain coming apart!

The giant fissure in the ground swallowed two cars in Page, Arizona, and caused 120 feet of highway to sink over 8 feet. But geologists are now also worried that the road may be irreparable for a long time because it appears that the whole side of the mountain is sinking!

It's a landslide...

...I teach geology at a college and this is a typical landslide. There are dozens of them along California's Pacific Coast Highway, some creeping slowly and others moving at deadly speeds.


It's all a part of the natural process we geologists call mass-wasting.

Think it's time

we start considering how things on this earth are interrelated and whether these are examples of the butterfly effect, perhaps contributed to by our own actions?
