Prevention & Treatment: Do not plant beans in low-lying, poorly drained areas. Plant beans on raised beds. Plant after the soil has warmed to 69 Â°F at a 4-inch depth. Reduce disease buildup in the soil by rotating locations in the garden where you plant bean or pea with other vegetables.
These collapses can be small, or, as this picture shows, or they can be huge and can occur where a house or road is on top. The most damage from sinkholes tends to occur in Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. The picture to the left shows a sinkhole that quickly opened up in Florida, apparently eating a swimming pool, some roadway, and buildings.
Geologists divide sinkholes into three types. The first is a dissolution or solution sinkhole. In this type of sinkhole, there is little soil or vegetation over the limestone or other bedrock. Water from rain and runoff slowly trickles through crevices in the bedrock, dissolving it.As a result, a depression gradually forms.arning signs of sinkholes. Areas with underlying dissolvable rock are most susceptible to sinkholes. According to the USGS, the most dangerous spots are in Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Missouri and Kentucky. There are often warning signs before a sinkhole collapse, however.
