chicchoreasays...Truly.
Man That's messed up.
charliemsays...Mudslide / sinkhole in the making...I would not be hanging around.
eric3579says..."The reason behind the phenomena isn’t very mystical. The movement is actually caused by root systems just barely underneath the soil. When a tree sways in high wind, it also moves the land around it."
“As I entered a patch of trees spared from clear cutting, I noticed the ground moving,” Brian Nuttall, who uploaded the video, wrote in a Facebook post. “I believe the larger trees are doomed to blow down but are currently spared, the smaller trees around them help hold each other up, as the wind pushes the trees into one another.”

From what ive found on the internets, seems the woods had been clear cut up to these trees, and without their protection, the winds, wreak havoc, uplifting the root system which grew more shallow, as (i assume)they never had to anchor themselves any deeper. Anyway thats what i took from the few things i could find on this video. Would love to hear anything else others might know about this.
newtboysays...This also happens up here in N. California with the giant redwoods. They can only be stable where their root systems can interlock with other large trees and help support each other, but in high winds you still get this kind of uplift as they sway.
chicchoreasays...Pretty much all that's needed.
However, were I there...I wouldn't be there long...dragon waking up.

PlayhousePalssays...Whatever you do DON'T WALK ON IT! Let sleeping Dragons lie [shades of Journey to the Center of the Earth circa 1959]
However, were I there...I wouldn't be there long...dragon waking up.
Ashenkasesays...This probably has something to do with the Bay of Fundy tides.
iauisays...That's so Darkwood!
nanrodsays...While Apple River is close to the places in Minas Basin which hold the record for highest tides (over 50 feet) this has everything to do with wind and nothing to do with tides.
