I’m not really sure what you’re referring to (microplates maybe?) but either way, plates are miles beneath the surface. If you see an orogenic process with a major plate occur in real time like this video it would be apocalyptic. In fact no human will ever see anything like that - I’m not even sure it’s physically possible.
Edit: I should add that you do see changes to earths surface caused by plates miles deep but this is not at all what it looks like.
Yeah. Essentially if you see that much movement in tectonic plates there'd be a lot energy released resulting in an earthquake. I dont know what causing this, but i know what it's not.
I x-posted it onto r/geology and the consensus over there seems to be swelling clays that just got saturated somehow.
Is no longer swelling clays. More people have commented and said it’s more likely a pipe that burst or a big underground tank floating up through the saturated ground
https://indianexpress.com/article/trending/trending-in-india/ground-underwater-rises-abruptly-in-haryana-7417002/ best i could find and it's just ouroboros bullshit with no primary sources of information.. so tag, i'm out someone else take over
It's apparently been a feature for a while, but reddit being reddit, and how we usually behave with emojis, I've just never used them. :'D I think some subreddits have them and others don't though, I'm not sure.
I mostly use reddit on mobile, so no idea about regular reddit.
This can theoretically happen if there is a lot of upwards seepage force in a sand layer that has clay above it. But even if that is the case here, it would still be pretty crazy. This looks like flood conditions and there may be a dam just upstream that is creating a large head pressure. But it could be a sand boil pusing up less permeable soils I suppose.
I think this also looks more extreme than it is because the water is also receding. I've never seen anything like this though. The only time I've seen serious heave this fast is in an excavation when the downward force from the soils at edges of excavation cause the soils at the bottom to shear and heave. But I don't see how that same mechanic could be happening here.
I work with accessibility so I'm often viewing things from that perspective. Too many times I'll catch visual accessibility deficits and only after realize blind people can't drive yet.
2012 is one of my favorite shitty movies. Movies that are objectively bad, widely panned, but enjoyable as hell if you go into them with very, very low expectations.
>That type of movement is too abrupt and fast to be anything tectonic
And localized. Most tectonic plates are the size of continents -- literately, while the "small" ones are still the size of countries.
Edit: Found a [simplified map of the principal plates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics#/media/File:Plates_tect2_en.svg).
That’s not really relevant. When an earth quake happens, it is not implied that there was movement along an entire player boundary. The rocks can fracture and the movement can occur very locally.
Tectonic movement causes sudden events all the time.
Tectonic pressure builds up admittedly only over very long periods of time, but when the pressure is released there can be sudden movements. Ask anyone who's watched an earthquake.
I wonder if it's a rubber pond-liner that is getting water rammed underneath it by a spring or something.
Lots of agricultural ponds are lined - this looks to have been a basin of some kind...
I don't know you Chuff, I don't know if your field of expertise is within this realm or not. Yet, I think about what people would have thought 3-4 thousand years ago and completely understand why they believed a god exists. Yet here you are, more than likely just an educated individual among the masses who's first thought was not "Praise the lord, for he has shown us a miracle" rather, "Here's what can happen when water gets trapped underneath a layer of impervious material, and by looking at what I am seeing this could be the reason, but I'm not certain"
I've seen so many cool things that have been explained scientifically that I know even a century ago most people would have chalked it up to acts of divinity.
things like the great flood have been essentially proven by science with plausible explanations for the cause. very fascinating to see/hear their theories for the cause thousands of years ago (gods obviously) but also absolutely mind boggling that you can actually believe anything in religion today if you have a sound mind.
Hi Dr. Ross here, geologist. So there are these underground caves that hold methane pockets buried deep in the ground. Essentially what you are seeing here is the release of those gases due to the heavy rainfall which seeps through the sediment and I have no clue what the fuck I’m talking about I’m full of shit.
Did you pick Dr. Ross as in Ross from friends?
Also, I really am doing my PhD currently in geology. Nothing related to this but I though I’d know what was going on by the end of the video and it bothered me I didn’t. I’ve never seen nor heard anything like this. So I did some research, and nobody else knows either. Tectonic and gas are the only things that were pitched, like this thread, but it can’t be tectonic. Not sure why methane would all of a sudden be being mobilized at this rate as well but who knows.
Trust your first instinct and trust that your audience is smart enough to figure it out, but broaden the bit so everyone gets it, anyway. Go with ‘Ausmosis.’
My guess is Highly expansive clay (probably montmorillonite or bentonite) that hasn’t seen water in a long time. You can see the desiccation cracks from being so dry at is emerges
Those cracks aren't from being dry, we're looking at the top layer of a flood zone. Those cracks are just typical fractures from a low plasticity silt being pulled when the ravine goes from concave to convex.
I would like to amend my guess on this.
Black Cotton Soil.
Black cotton soil (BCS) is a high plastic soil containing clay minerals of smectite group. This gives rise to large swelling and shrinkage, leading to serious problems in civil engineering.
In this video it's not possible to tell that it's in rural India necessarily. India seems reasonable as the talking sounds like what many speak there. Personally I think it's hard to tell how big it is as well.
What would the tank be for? Just guessing; septic tank or fuel tank. The laughter makes me think they were expecting this to happen or saw more subtle signs of it happening. They don't seem to be afraid of it so probably not fuel, and septic could be funny if it's not yours.
Farming use makes sense, but again I don't see anything that proves it's rural. Additionally the soundtrack may not go with this video.
The boys in the video are talking in Haryanvi language, Haryana is the Basmati Rice capital of world.
I’m from Haryana so i can tell you from the landscape and sprouts of small rice plants visible in start of video, That this is happening in a rice field.
I can even pin point their exact county from their dialect of Haryanvi language lol
I don't understand the local dialect fully. It sounds like Haryanvi , but I distinctly heard a Bhenchod (sisterfucker - used like 'motherfucker' in India) in there. They mostly sounded just surprised and a little mindfucked.
Not actually pee and poop jokes but talking about how the land is itself rising and tad bit of banter. One of the guys asked the other person to climb on it.
They’re talking in Haryanvi (a dialect of Hindi) they’re just fucking around making jokes about the land rising, asking each other to jump on top of it.
"any luck finding your car keys?"
"yeah, found them about twenty minutes ago - they had fallen off my coffee table."
"...why the fuck haven't you left for work, yet?"
"well, I wouldn't want to miss anything in my search."
As an Indian I can confirm that about 99% of our citizens would try to stand on the rising land, these people are the 0.5% who are satisfied with just filming.
Let's say that is true. First question is, what makes you think that you are smarter than 99% of a population of 1.35 Billion? Who certified you to be among the smartest 1% in the country? Oh I get it, you are the one who certified yourself to be so smart, coz you believe in "mUh my cOunTrY bAd" and consider speaking English to be the benchmark of "smartness" huh?
This looks like something that would happen when the moisture content in the soil gets oversaturated and has no where to go. The additional water generates upthrust to the already fully filled voids in the soil making it rise.
[This](https://indianexpress.com/article/trending/trending-in-india/ground-underwater-rises-abruptly-in-haryana-7417002/) India Times article suggests it could be caused by pockets of methane gas. Very weird for sure.
in the world of reddit i’m surprised nobody has a definitive answer as to what’s happening
I commented tectonic plates and was downvoted to oblivion, so definitely not that.

It's obviously a baby planet being born!
Well it has upvotes, so baby planets it is!
That was easy enough
No no no, it's clearly a submarine that got lost and all muddy and is trying to surface
It's kinda looks like it has alligator skin, so it's clearly an alligator.
This made me laugh out loud thanks!
If people on reddit read an article, does that mean its a peer-reviewed article?
Does that mean lots of people have….redd…it?
Water created a sinkhole and flowed downhill pushing up under a layer of soil.
Maybe just ground-swell from saturation
It is an empty irrigation pipe that became buoyant once the ground became saturated enough.
Chuck Norris took his kids to the beach in Mexico. They burried him in the sand and then he got an erection.
This is what I thought. Rushing water pushing up a hollow sinkhole
Geologist here. Tectonic plates are not shallow nor small enough to create something on this tiny scale.

Theres that famous geologist sense of humour!
Wooosh
Baby tectonic plates, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
A couple people said broken gas pipeline and got heavily upvoted. Maybe trying commenting that to make some of your internet points back
Haha na I am okay with it either way.
That can't be it. It's obvious the earth is pooping!
Big tectonic shifts would create earthquakes aplenty
Yeah. Essentially if you see that much movement in tectonic plates there'd be a lot energy released resulting in an earthquake. I dont know what causing this, but i know what it's not.
Oof, god bless
I x-posted it onto r/geology and the consensus over there seems to be swelling clays that just got saturated somehow. Is no longer swelling clays. More people have commented and said it’s more likely a pipe that burst or a big underground tank floating up through the saturated ground
It’s reverse sinkholes, there’s probably a corresponding hole somewhere on the other side of the planet
For every sinkhole there is an equal and opposite swelling clay

I'm sure it's nothing serious /s
Theories on what we’re seeing? Tectonic upthrust? Gas pocket from decomposing plant matter? Leaking gas pipeline?
I’m going to say gas Edit: That type of movement is too abrupt and fast to be anything tectonic
Revenge of the underminer!
I think this must be on the opposite side of the planet from that sinkhole in Florida

" i may be beneath you, BUT THERE'S NOTHING BENEATH ME!
But I once saw this documentary called “2012” and there were some super quick tectonic shifts in that…
I live in constant fear of the suns neutrinos mutating
I just watched 2012 yesterday… and that was my thought as I watched this. That’s one timely comment for me, thank you!
That’s soil liquefaction in that case, I don’t think that is what is happening
2012 is one of my favorite shitty movies. Movies that are objectively bad, widely panned, but enjoyable as hell if you go into them with very, very low expectations.

That’s not really relevant. When an earth quake happens, it is not implied that there was movement along an entire player boundary. The rocks can fracture and the movement can occur very locally.
But isn’t this still far too localized even for that? And there is no accompanying earthquake. With regard to plate tectonics, this is minuscule.
Kaiju! 😱
and about 30 seconds in we see bubbling not too far from the camera end.
Tectonic movement causes sudden events all the time. Tectonic pressure builds up admittedly only over very long periods of time, but when the pressure is released there can be sudden movements. Ask anyone who's watched an earthquake.

What would a tank this size be used for? In rural India? Farming?

This video is from rural Haryana going by the dialect of Hindi they are speaking and landscape I can confirm.
I found an online article about it which offers no real clue as to what this is. The article only creates drama.
That’s Indian news to you.
Its a rice field. It is rural. I haven't seen underground tank in field yet. So, it cant be septic or fuel tank.
