One of The World's Largest Cities Is Sinking Faster Than Expected

Mexico City is sinking at an alarming rate—and in some areas, the ground is collapsing faster than almost anywhere else on Earth. Built on top of an ancient lakebed, the city slowly sinks as massive amounts of groundwater are pumped from beneath it. Some neighborhoods are dropping by several centimeters every year, damaging roads, buildings, pipelines, and even historic landmarks. Scientists warn that parts of the city may never fully recover because the ground itself is permanently compressing. Watch now to uncover why Mexico City is sinking so quickly—and why the problem keeps getting worse.
