What is the proper term for the phobia of sinkholes happening any second at your current location?
See what happened in Guatemala City, june 2nd, a giant 66 feet wide sinkhole appeared in the middle of a residence area, that looks like it was made by an orbital drilling laser from the movie Alien vs Predator.

My question or request:
I would like to ask people who like making up medical/scientific/latin-based terms, what they would call the constant fear of having a giant sinkhole like that appear under your feet, at any second?
Then we must try to pitch this term as a real medical condition so that we hope someday to have support groups, doctors and drugs to help the people suffering from it. Like I am right now.
