the geology behind (or should I say "under"?) this kind of drop? It looks like something you would see after an earthquake except there wasn't one. So what causes a chunk of earth to drop so dramatically?

I imagine that the Ericksons are grateful for two things right now. 1. Nobody was in the field when this happened. 2. It happened in the field and not under their house. But they must be wondering now if it could happen again somewhere on their property. I would be.
