Danube Sinkhole new headwaters of the Danube will be the Krähenbach where it currently meets the Danube ( ) and the Elta where it currently meets the Danube (). Danube Sinkhole The Danube Sinkhole ( or ) is an incipient underground stream capture in the Upper Danube Nature Park. Between Immendingen and Möhringen and also near Fridingen (Tuttlingen), the water of the Danube sinks into the riverbed in various places. The main sinkhole is next to a field named "Brühl" between Immendingen and Möhringen. The term “sinking” is more accurate than “seeping”, because, instead of just distributing into the soil, the Danube’s
Sinkhole spaces and caverns develop underground. These sinkholes can be dramatic, because the surface land usually stays intact until there is not enough support. Then, a sudden collapse of the land surface can occur. On 2 July 2015, scientists reported that active pits, related to sinkhole collapses and possibly associated with outbursts, were found on the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by the "Rosetta" space probe. Collapses, commonly incorrectly labeled as sinkholes also occur due to human activity, such as the collapse of abandoned mines and salt cavern storage in salt domes in places like Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. More commonly, collapses occur in
