Although the Guatemala sinkhole is the most publicized giant hole in the world right now, China has more consistent sinkhole problems. Several of them have formed in China during the last year, with a few more during the last few weeks alone.

The Guatemala sinkhole seems to have been formed by a combination of loose ground and poor pipes. Since the ground is mostly made of material from past volcanic deposits, the lack of care for the infrastructure may have made it more vulnerable.

Although the Guatemala sinkhole was a natural disaster, everyone knows that human neglect can also help those disasters along. Increased speculation is that the piping and sewage systems may have made the ground more vulnerable.

No one seems to have died from the Guatemala sinkhole, although many factory workers could have fallen if it happened an hour earlier. As such, others around the neighborhood are either afraid to come back, or are waiting nervously for any new word.

The Guatemala sinkhole is an Internet sensation, but fortunately, no one appeared to have been hurt by it. Yet since this is the nation's second hole in four years, the focus must now be on preventing a future hole that could do far worse.

On May 27, 2010, a volcano erupted in Guatemala. Hundreds of Guatemalan residents were forced to be relocated. The volcano, Pacaya, was one of the most active volcanoes in Guatemala. On Thursday, the volcano suddenly started to spew lava and rocks out.

The giant hole in Guatemala is the most publicized disaster in that nation, but it is hardly the only one in recent days. Even before being struck by the hole and a tropical storm, a volcanic eruption occured that is still causing problems.

The investigations into the Guatemala sinkhole have begun, although one expert thinks it isn't a sinkhole. Geologist Sam Bonis suggested it is a 'piping feature' which could be similiar to the hole in Guatemala back in 2007.

The giant hole in the ground at Guatemala is still making its way around the Internet, and the world. Now that people know it isn't a false image, the question is how it formed, and how much the recent tropical storm had to do with it.
