[Sinkholes] creating a google map pinpointing all of them for 2012.

The emergency alert map website : http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index2.php : has a long back-dated list of reports of mass animal deaths - maybe that will help you populate your map?

I think having separate maps for different 'events' is a good idea - as with so many different things happening I imagine they will get very crowded! It will be very interesting however, to have a few of them open at the same time to compare them with one another.


For events that 'could be' (for example) meteors, but aren't necessarily reported as one; perhaps you could use a different icon, but use your current 'date' colour code applied to that different icon? Similar to the idea about landslides or sinkholes.
So - labeling as 'suspected' meteor or sinkhole - or even 'alleged' if it may 'not' be but is reported as one... Not sure =) just a couple of things that I thought about.
 
I can't help to think that if we were to make a map including all the strangness on top of earth changes, we probably wouldn't be able to see a darn thing...

Keep up the good work guys!

Peace.
 
That's actually scary! I wonder why the Southern Hemisphere isn't getting hit? (Or not much.)
 
Laura: I heard that "southern" Africa got "hit" by incredible snow falls, it could bring others reactions in chain right after it :/

This is the good question I guess by looking the all map... And here is something could be enough new for us:
A mass of small volcanic rocks nearly the size of Belgium has been discovered floating off the coast.

The stretch of golf-ball-size pumice rocks was first spotted this week by a New Zealand air force plane about 1,000 kilometres northwest of Auckland.

Here after a new sinkhole in France:

There is also this one in Guatemala in 2010 :

I wonder the same. Maybe it is because it has much less inhabitable surface, or maybe due to the northern hemisphere being much more active, I mean the main powers that are currently having the main role in destroying earth are there. I don't know, it's just speculation.

I also find curious that Israel almost never has a big natural catastrophe, sometimes a little quake or some lesser thing, but nothing more than that.

That area activity is growing lately, I invite you to check the earthquakes report for that spot :)
 
In looking at the locations of the sinkholes being mapped, I noticed "a simularity in pattern" to what I have observed in gas fracking wells in Pennsylvania and Ohio locations. The highest concentration of wells being drill through the Marcellus Shale, tend to be near or on Fault lines. I can only speculate, as to why?

I sense, there's a connection between Sinkholes and Fault lines and possible Soil Liquification when conditions are right.

Consider the locations of Major Fault lines through the United States and the concentrations of sinkholes in any given area. Earthquake activity tends to be near Fault Lines.

An example: http://legendsofgreenisle.com/tag/texas-fault-lines/

"In Texas there is a large area called the Balcones Fault Zone which runs approximately from the southwest of the state near Del Rio to the north central region near Waco along I-35. It’s location could be related to Ouachita Mountains which formed about 300 million years ago during a continental collision. According to the Texas State Historical association there have been about 110 recorded earthquakes between 1847 and 1994 along that line.

This is a list of the most common fault lines which run through Texas: Rio Grande Rift Belt, the Panhandle, the Ouachita Belt and the Coastal Plain.

Another great fault area in the southern United States is called the New Madrid Fault which is a series of fault lines known as the Reelfoot Rift. It covers 150 miles south from Cairo, Illinois through New Madrid and Caruthersville, Missouri, down through Blytheville, Arkansas to Marked Tree Arkansas, then dips into Kentucky near Fulton and into the state of Tennessess near Reelfoot Lake, extending southeast to Dyersburg. What is noteworthy about this system is that it trembled violently in the winter of 1811-1812 with about three (3) magnitude 8 quakes. People speculate that we are due for another one.

Eyeing both the fault line of Texas and that of the New Madrid Fault Line, they meet, making a large pie wedge of the southern United States.

What is similar between the fault lines in Houston and the New Madrid Fault is that both are in areas which could liquify because of the soil conditions above them. "
 
Here's two from the Southern Hemisphere; one in Australia (2012) and one in New Zealand (2011):

On it. Thx :)

Edit : added the two from new zealand but the Sydney page is a bit "cranky" to be used, where did you see it came from 2012 ? :)
 
Someone actually told me about it earlier this year (it's not far from where I live) so I went online to try to find some info.

I will see if I can find another article about it.

Here we go, try this one:

Oh, thanks for that, Ekios. I'll check them.

It seems that with some research new events that were not previously reported or whose reports were not evident come to light.

Not the same, but I added it while searching the previous one :cool2:
