Sinkhole: a hole formed in soluble rock by the action of water, serving to conduct surface water to an underground passage.

So one of those is now 600 yards wide and 200 feet deep, and has swallowed up the tractor and cab of an 18-wheel farm vehicle. This whole scene is unfolding in the small community of Daisetta, TX, and has everything to do with the local oil production. The powers that be are monitoring the situation and will do what they can to keep the sinkhole from swallowing up any homes. Weird.
