So, this isn’t a sign that Arizona is starting to split in half or caused by earthquakes or faulting.

“This is actually a fairly common occurrence in the area. The Arizona Geological Survey has mapped hundreds of kilometres of these fissures so far – but none have come close to this massive crack in scale.”

The crack appears on a rise, and the line of vegetation parallel to this suggests that there used to be another crack parallel, but closer to the rise.

This has similarities to the cracks that form in the ground prior to landslides.
