No. Not at all, actually.
A sinkhole occurs when water has eroded the ground (usually limestone or an evaporite based rock) underneath the surface and it caves in. Sometimes, they occur due to human use (excessive lowering of the water table, etc.)
A whirlpool is a circulating portion of water, usually found in the ocean.
They don't. Sinkholes are filled in.
Michigan is a state that is very familiar with sinkholes. On their lower peninsula alone there are close to 200 sinkholes.
subsidence sinkholes are different from collapse sinkholes in two ways . first,subsidence sinkholes ocer when there is almost no overburn,or material,above the limestone. collapse sinkholes happen when there is thick overburn. secondly, subsidence sinkholes occur slowly, over time, while collapse foms quckly beacause of human activity , such as well drilling.
The over pumping of ground water is leading to sinkholes because the suction is forcing the ground in. Also the loss of moisture in the ground of the pumping is keeping the ground from being stable.
Both tornadoes an whirlpools are different types of vortex. But besides that they are very different. For one thing, how tornadoes function and develop is more complex than it is for whirlpools.
You can find sinkholes in fl
sinkholes mostly happen at FLORIDA
Sinkholes, as we know it, can affect anyone.

Whirlpools typically occur where strong opposing currents come head on.

The plain answer is that they end when they run out of energy. So they simply stop then. But there are all kinds of whirlpools caused by all kinds of things. Which means there are all kinds of ways whirlpools can get and lose their energies. For example, there are whirlpools in your bathroom sink when you open the drain. They stop when the water is gone from the sink and so there is no longer a force of gravity acting on water to cause the whirlpools. There are whirlpools in the wake of a ship. They're called eddies, but they are still whirlpools. They stop when the ship stops because they were getting their energies from the ship's motion. Similarly there are whirlpools in running streams and rivers, they might stop if there is a change in flow or the river runs dry. So there you are. Whirlpools stop when they run out of energy.
