Summary:
- The Konya Basin in Turkey is experiencing significant sinking, with the Earth's crust "dripping" downwards at a rate of about 2 centimeters per year.
- Researchers have identified an underground anomaly, likely caused by the gradual melting and sinking of the Earth's crust, as the primary driver of this sinking phenomenon.
- The sinking is causing damage to infrastructure and buildings in the region, highlighting the importance of understanding and addressing such geological processes to mitigate their impact on human settlements.
