What else can I help you with?
When do sinkholes form?
Sinkholes form when limestone dissolves and pores and cracks grow bigger.
What property of water allows it to form sinkholes?
It's ability to weather and erode rock.
What can produce sinkholes cavern and formations?
Sinkholes and caverns are formed from carbolic acid. This carbolic acid dissolves rock which creates the spaces that form the sinkholes and caverns. The carbolic acid is created when carbon dioxide dissolves in water.
What is uvula in relation to geography?
uvula is basicaly smaller sinkholes that form a compoud sinkholes
If many lakes in Florida are sinkholes?
Yes, many lakes in Florida are indeed sinkholes due to the state's unique geology, which includes a limestone bedrock that is prone to erosion. Over time, the dissolution of limestone by acidic water can create underground cavities, leading to collapses that form sinkholes. These sinkholes can fill with water, creating lakes. Florida's high water table and frequent rainfall further contribute to the formation of these features.
Why did these caverns and sinkholes form?
Caverns and sinkholes typically form in areas with soluble rock such as limestone, where water dissolves the rock over time. Caverns are created by the slow dissolution of underground rock, while sinkholes form when the roof of a cavern collapses or the ground above a cavity caves in. Both processes are part of the natural geological phenomenon of karst topography.
What are the differences between subsidence sinkholes and collapse 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.
How do sinkholes appear?
There are a few different ways that sinkholes can form. Often, there is a layer of limestone or some other layer of water soluble material under the ground, and it is slowly dissolved by water seeping down from above. This leaves a gap and these gaps sometimes collapse.
How does sinkholes form?
Sinkholes form when water erodes the rock or soil underneath the surface, creating a hole or depression. This erosion is typically caused by a combination of factors such as heavy rainfall, underground water movement, or human activities like mining or construction. Over time, the surface layer collapses into the empty space below, leading to the formation of a sinkhole.
What is causing the trend of large sinkholes opening up under buildings and homes in places all over the world?
the causes of sinkholes around the world is underground water and sewer pipes below cities and towns
Where do sinkholes form in Mexico?
The Yucatan peninsula.
How do you think overpumping groundwater is related o the formation of sinkholes?
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.
