It's a question you might be wondering since a big hole showed up in Pasco County and you've seen it called a suspected sinkhole or depression and not a sinkhole. • • According to the United States Geological Survey, sinkholes are an area of ground that has no natural external surface drainage -- when it rains, the water stays inside the sinkhole and typically drains into the subsurface. • Pasco, Hernando and Citrus are part of sinkhole alley. This is due to what is called the Ocala Uplift. This area has been weathered by erosion over millions of years exposing the limestone bedrock below, increasing the sinkhole risk. • • The USGS says Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania lead the nation for states where sinkholes will cause the most damage. • NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? • Hi!
