As he reached it, the earth crumbled under his feet and dropped him ten feet to the shallow bed of a rocky stream.

The earth crumbled under the people's feet, the dust flew up in clouds, the air reeked.

Then, above them, the earth suddenly crumbled.

The earth and withered flowers crumbled away, as if an earthquake had gripped that grave and no other.

The earth crumbled beneath her heavy body and the material of his coat tore as she fell screaming.
