And suddenly the Earth started breathing in Nova Scotia. This weird phenomenon was captured by Brian Nuttall on October 31, 2015 most probably in Apple River.

The 'breathing' is due to the roots of the smaller trees in the forest loosening in the strong winds, after other trees around them were cut down.

As the forest floor gives way, the wind blows under the surface, pushing the mat of roots and plants up.

very cool though

Maybe Apple River is rotten to the core! Flatulent Earth!

Really big gophers?

It just the wind blowing the trees on ver soft soil. Watch the direction of the wind in the background and how the roots are lifting in the foreground.

People who film vertically should be shot.

The movement is directly related to the wind. Probably all the trees are interconnected at the roots, with more roots than dirt. When the wind blows, it tips the trees, and as they move they pull at the underground root system.
