近700个！土耳其惊现“巨大天坑”疑因气候变化导致

Group 1 - The core issue is the emergence of hundreds of sinkholes in central Turkey's agricultural regions, attributed to climate change, reduced rainfall, and declining groundwater levels [1][2] - The number of sinkholes in the Konya basin has accelerated, nearing 700, with the rate of groundwater level decline now at 4 to 5 meters per year, significantly higher than the 0.5 meters per year observed in the 2000s [2][3] - Local farmers are increasingly drilling more wells, many of which are unlicensed, exacerbating the depletion of groundwater resources and worsening the situation [2][3] Group 2 - Although no fatalities have been reported from the newly formed sinkholes, their unpredictability poses a threat to the safety and property of local residents [2][3] - Farmers like Mustafa Sık have experienced the formation of sinkholes on their land, with one instance causing a loud noise that was alarming to nearby workers [5][6]
