The first sinkhole opened up in Reşadiye neighborhood on Friday, Anadolu Agency reported, adding that it measured 4 meters in diameter and 20 meters in depth. Teams from Karapınar Municipality put up a wire fence around the sinkhole to prevent accidents.
After three days, a 10-meter-deep sinkhole with a 7-meter diameter opened up in the same neighborhood at 3 a.m. local time.
There has been greater activity at El Popo since Sunday morning.
The National Disaster Prevention Center (Cenapred) said this morning it had identified 20 gas and water vapor exhalations at El Popo, with the first three recorded yesterday at 9:56am. The most recent was recorded this morning at 7:04.
Wind sent the ash in a north-northeast direction away from the crater.
There were also two recorded episodes of harmonic tremors — a sustained release of seismic and infrasonic energy typically associated with the underground movement of magma — lasting five and 10 hours respectively.

The crater of Mount Bromo has a diameter of around 800 meters.
The crater of Mount Bromo has a diameter of around 800 meters.
The PVMBG said the eruption occurred at around 6 a.m., causing tremors with an amplitude of 0.5 to 1 millimeters.
The ash moved in a northwesterly direction from the 2,929-kilometer-high mountain.
The bodies of two more miners were recovered Tuesday, bringing the death toll to three from a landslide at an open-pit mining site in Aegean Turkey, officials said.
Monday's landslide trapped four workers at the feldspar open-pit mining site near the coastal town of Milas in the Mugla province.
On Monday the body of one worker was pulled out from under the debris, and one wounded miner was rescued.
The injured worker was discharged from hospital on Tuesday.
Raicoast MP Peter Sapia travelled to Ranara in the Naho Rawa local level government to assess the damage with the disaster office team from Madang.
Madang disaster office director Rudolf Mongallee said heavy rain in the area caused the landslide which buried the two people alive.
It could not be confirmed whether their bodies had been recovered.
He said people living along the Finisterer mountain range has been subjected to landslides.
He warned the villagers to be careful as water coming down the mountains were causing more soil erosion.

But if I were you, I'd take these claims with a big pinch of salt, especially if they include the words "climate change." That is because the most dramatic, oft-quoted study that links insect loss with climate change turns out to be flawed to the point of uselessness. It is so bad that the Global Warming Policy Foundation has sent a formal complaint to its publishers calling for its withdrawal.
The study by Brad Lister and Andres Garcia was published last year by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS). Titled Climate-driven declines in arthropod abundance restructure a rainforest food web, it appeared to tell a very worrying story about a precipitous decline in the number of insects in Puerto Rico's Luquillo rainforest.
Comment: Obviously something is happening with the insect collapse. Global warming is apparently the only lens through which environmental phenomena can be understood. That's a big problem. It is also a clue that the theory has a stronger basis in ideology than in reality, which is also demonstrated in the overzealous and desperate attempts toward validation. It doesn't matter to its adherents that there really is no validation nor that such studies are flawed. Presenting facts that show glaring errors in the theory actually only deepens ideological convictions. We see the same dynamic play out across all realms. It's only when people become more interested in truth than their chosen beliefs that the hold of ideological possession can be broken.

The whale beached Sunday.
The whale beached Sunday.
One humpback whale was found around midnight Saturday in Corolla, N.C., and the second came ashore Sunday near Sandbridge in Virginia's Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, said the post.
"These are the second and third juvenile Humpbacks found dead on the Currituck Banks Peninsula in less than a week," said the post. "Another was found on February 12 north of Oregon Inlet near Nags Head."
A blanket of snow covering their desert city.
A rare snowfall came to the city streets, covering lawns and roads and making for traffic nightmares.
The Nevada Highway Patrol reported that Interstate 15 was closed Monday morning from the south end of the valley to the California border due to a number of crashes.
This is the first accumulation of measurable snow in the valley in a decade.
Comment: Experts who claim that its merely due to 'structure' and 'rainfall', apparently unaware of any other factors, when sinkholes are opening up all over the planet, are clearly missing a significant piece of the puzzle:
