Florida is a beautiful city maybe one of the best places to live but anywhere in Florida the foundation is soluble rock so at any point the ground could collapse. Florida has the highest sinkhole risk out of any other place in the world. And even in a sinkhole zone the chance of dying is approximately 500 million to one. Though again, in Florida your chances of dying are slightly higher. Conclusion This text explained what sinkholes are, how they are formed, how the frequency of sinkholes could change in the future, how we prepare for sinkholes, if there are sinkholes in Australia and why people would choose to live in a sinkhole prone zone. Glossary Soluble Rock- Rock capable of being dissolved eg. Limestone Infrastructure- buildings, railways, power lines or pipes Acidic- having the properties of an acid Decomposed- decayed or rotted Natural Disasters- a natural event that causes great damage or loss of life Catastrophe-an event causing damage and suffering Tectonic Plates-the two sub-layers of the earth’s crust that move, float, and sometimes fracture Bibliography
