     What is a Sinkhole?

    A sinkhole is a depression or hole in the ground caused by the collapse of the surface layer. These holes can be a few meters wide or extend to several hundred meters!

    Definition: A sinkhole is a geological feature where the ground collapses due to the dissolution of underground rock, usually limestone.

     

    There are two main types of sinkholes:

    ¡ÞNatural sinkholes – Formed due to natural geological processes.

    ¡ÞMan-made sinkholes – Caused by human activities like construction, mining, or water drainage.

    What Causes a Sinkhole?

    Sinkholes are primarily caused by the erosion of underground rock, leading to sudden ground collapse. Here are the most common reasons:

    ¡á Natural Causes

    ¡Þ Water erosion: Underground water slowly dissolves rocks like limestone, creating a cavity.

    ¡Þ Heavy rain and floods: Excessive water weakens the ground and leads to collapse.

    ¡Þ Earthquakes and natural shifts: Sudden movements in the Earth¡¯s crust can create sinkholes.

     

    ¡á Human-Induced Causes

    ¡Þ Over-extraction of groundwater – Excessive water pumping weakens underground support.

    ¡Þ Urban development – Construction can put pressure on weak underground areas.

    ¡Þ Mining and drilling – Digging underground can destabilize the land above.

     

    Example: In Florida, USA, sinkholes are common because the ground is made of limestone, which dissolves easily in water.
