schema:text	In June 2021, videos and photographs started circulating on social media that supposedly showed a house near the rim of a large sinkhole in central Mexico: This is a genuine image of a sinkhole in Mexico. This sinkhole is on a farm in Santa María Zacatepec. According to Mexico News Daily, the sinkhole was about five meters when it was first discovered on Saturday night. It has quickly expanded, however, and is now about 60 meters in diameter and is threatening a nearby house. Mexico News Daily reported: A sinkhole filled with bubbling water that first appeared in a Puebla field on Saturday has grown rapidly and is threatening to swallow a family’s home. The Sánchez Xalamihua family heard a loud crash on Saturday night and initially thought it was a clap of thunder. But the noise was in fact caused by the collapse of ground in a field that adjoins their home in Santa María Zacatepec, a community about 20 kilometers northwest of Puebla city. The sinkhole, which was initially about 10 meters wide, grew to 30 meters across on Sunday and reached a diameter of 60 meters on Monday, according to authorities. It continued to expand on Tuesday as large chunks of earth broke away from its rim and now reaches more than 100 meters across, according to a report by Uno TV. Here's a video showing additional images of this sinkhole from the Associated Press: A video from VOA News shows that sinkhole has grown even larger and, as of this writing on June 3, 2021, the fence of the house is now hanging off the edge of this sinkhole: Beatriz Manrique, environmental secretary for the Mexico region, said that the sinkhole was likely caused by the extraction of groundwater: "We think that it might be a combination of two factors: the softening of the field, the whole area was being cultivated, as well as the extraction of groundwater, which softens the subsoil."
