“Sinkholes are ROUND” when viewed from sufficient distance, and this is a clue to their origin. Coriolis rotations dictate that a sinking entity rotates clockwise, as is well-known from viewing Hurricanes from space, with remote photography. The main destructive portion of a hurricane rotates CCW, as the rising moisture-laden air mass sheds its water via violent rains. Rising terminates at the top of the system, since there is no light saturated air to ascend further (water has a molecular weight of 18, lighter than the normal dry air with 29, hence saturated air is lighter than dry air). The dry air has to exit, and with its increasing density, it descends- creating an “EYE” in the otherwise cloudy system. This eye is dry, it rotates CW, sinks, and reveals calm clear cloudless skies inside it. Hurricane systems are created by low pressure waves of air over warm tropical seas. They are called typhoons in the Pacific, and cyclones elsewhere. Their destructive power is related to the size and decrease of atmospheric pressure in the edge of the system. Cyclone CATARINA OF 2004 IS SHOWN BELOW, FOR THE SPACE VIEW OF THE ROTATION AND EYE FORMED BY DOWNWARD SPIRALING OF THE DRY AIR:
Similarly, the CRUST of the Earth rotates with many orientations, under the impetus of its wobbles- which are created by the orbital cycles, such as PRECESSIONAL, AXIAL, and ELLIPTICAL gyrations (relative to the normally-spinning and revolving globe). The question now investigated is the cycle and time of evolution of sinkholes seen on the surface of the earth. Below is the one I have already solved and photoed:










Another one is located south of I-15 freeway, as shown in the following photo:


I will locate these on Google Earth, for Latitude and longitude, so that they can be centered within a Milankovitch cycle (hopefully round and not elliptical). Below is a larger one, named the Devil’s sink or throne, south of Mesquite, NV. This is found at 36 42'49.31"N latitude, 114 3'26.1"W longitude:

ITS AGE IS CALCUATED FROM A "ROUND" QUATERNARY FEATURE, SHOWN IN THE FOLLOWING PHOTO SOUTH OF THE VIRGIN RIVER, NEAR THE TOWN OF MESQUITE, AND OFF OF THE PAVED ROAD TO GOLD HILL. I HAVE AN ERROR POSTED FOR THE RATIO OF DIAMETER TO WIDTH OF The SINK; IT SHOULD BE 20 km/.03km= 600, and this ratio has not been calculated elsewhere, so is SUSPECT:
Notice that there is a tremendous disparity in size, and this should be correlated with the diameter of the orbital cycle which created it (large sinks should have surrounding them circular shear patterns in the rocks of at least 20 km diameter).
