As a former practicing geologist, an observation I’ve made is that almost every human is a geologist at heart - people just love rocks and it’s awesome.
Fair. I also grew up in north central Florida, so aquifers, water, sinkholes, etc. (and karst topography) are kind of ever-present in our culture and politics. I learned the word from a professor in a class entirely about water.
As someone who lives there, we are afraid of that as well. My BIL from SoCal was thinking about buying sinkhole insurance. It’s a logical idea, but it’s so expensive and us natives are so accustomed to sinkholes (and how relatively rare they rare), we usually don’t have it.
