Norwegian soil is very new from the ice age and is all held together by salt molecules. If one puts to much weight it will push out the salt molecules and it will turn into liquid. Many videos out there where you see buildings just starts floating out to the sea because someone either built to much weight on one place or removed to much mass from one place weakening the surrounding areas ability to hold the weight placed untop of it. its a constant issue they always have to consider when building roads of buildings anywhere in norway, especially close to a water source

This is true, most of this issues is often closer to coastal regions or rivers. more innlands it is less but also depends how long ago, for example the last marsh land was drained

Probably very good farm land close by to where you live?
