A City in Brazil is Sinking: Thousands at Risk of Relocation
Several houses have already been destroyed, and around 1,200 people may lose their homes and be forced to relocate. Authorities have mobilized emergency services to assess the extent of the destruction and prevent further collapses. Geologists are studying the situation to determine the causes of these dangerous ground depressions.
Local residents report that sinkholes started appearing several years ago, but the process has accelerated recently. Experts believe that the collapses may be linked to the region’s natural characteristics, underground water activity, and human activities. Efforts are underway to stabilize the soil and find solutions to minimize risks.
The situation remains tense, and authorities urge residents to exercise caution and stay updated with official notifications.
