In Colombia, a crack in the ground continues to grow in length and breadth, what is going on in the department of Narinho. From this anomaly already the roads and residents of the village of Aponte were significantly affected.
In the village, today they are cracked and sank. almost two hundred houses, their inhabitants are forced to leave their homes places and relocate. The crack appeared at the beginning of last year and at first it did not cause much concern. However, over the year it has grown to odd kilometers long and also expanded in some places almost a meter in width (an average of fifty centimeters).
A crack in the earth continues to grow and expand. Monitoring which the villagers have arranged since the end of last year, shows that the fault expands on average by a few millimeters per day, however, when a howl similar to gusts comes from a crack wind, on this day the fault can expand to a centimeter per day. And there are more and more such days when the earth literally groans. In this case, the depth of the crack does not exceed four meters, but this does not professional measurement of a fault (residents perform it using ropes), it’s actually hard to say what it is, why appeared in the area and, most importantly, what consequences can expect from this crack in the near future.

To investigate this failure, the Narigno department has already sent an engineering battalion that would have to carefully study ongoing changes in place and decide how with this fight.
Descendants of the ancient Indians Inga, who from ancient times lived on this land, they say that according to the beliefs preserved in their oral legends, so Mother Earth warns people that she suffers from their unreasonable activities. And if you do not stop the atrocities on of this territory, then the Earth after warning will go to punishment. And it can be even more terrible disasters for local residents, for example, strong earthquakes, eruptions volcanoes and so on.
I wonder what conclusion those who arrived at the fault site will make scientists?
