This video shows a portion of land rising by about 10 feet above the surrounding area in India. Locals are heard laughing in surprise.

According to the Central Soil Salinity Research Institute (ICAR ), which visited the site, this is not a geological event but rather an effect of bad farming.

Before the incident, in an attempt to improve yield, the landowner dug around 9-10 feet deep and filled the ground with rice husk ashes and sand. On top, he then sowed paddy crops.

On July 13, heavy rains hit the area, and water penetrated into the buried material. The pressure caused a rise in the land level.

The incident happened in Kuchpura village, in the Indian State of Haryana, on July 14.
