Were there any cases of village or town or forest that suddenly disapeared?

 There have been a few instances throughout history where entire villages, towns, or forests have disappeared. Some examples include:

  • The disappearing island of Lohachara in the Bay of Bengal: The island, which was home to around 10,000 people, was submerged by rising sea levels caused by climate change.
  • The disappearing town of Centralia, Pennsylvania, USA: A mine fire that began in 1962 caused the town to be evacuated and eventually abandoned as the fire continues to burn underground.
  • The disappearing town of Fordlandia, Brazil: Henry Ford built a rubber plantation town in the Amazon rainforest, but it failed and was eventually abandoned.
  • The disappearing village of San Juan Parangaricutiro, Mexico: The village was buried by a volcanic eruption in 1943 and remains buried to this day.
  • The disappearing forest of the Amazon rainforest: Deforestation has caused large areas of the forest to disappear due to logging, mining, and agriculture.

These cases are the result of different factors such as natural disaster, human activity or both, and they have had a significant impact on the people and the environment.
