Caves are underground. They are big long holes underground. Sometimes, for some unknown reason, the roof of the cave can no longer support the weight of the ground above it and the ground collapses down into the cave. The land sinks. It fills the hole. Where there was a cave, there is now solid ground. Where there was land, there is now a big hole. So, you have a sinkhole when the roof of a cave collapses.

What do sinkholes provide?
Sinkholes lead to many great things like caverns and other underground sources like aquifers. When a sinkhole is discovered, entrepreneurs flock to the area to claim the land it is on or buy the land. Some sinkholes have been searched and have had beautiful underground caverns that can be used as a tourist attraction. Also sinkholes that have rising and falling water levels could actually be an opening to an aquifer. If the aquifer is not discovered yet you can set up a pretty good water bottle business. To sum it up, sinkholes provide us with beautiful views and something to drink. Some sinkholes have been searched and have underground rivers. There is one sinkhole in China that has a forest at the bottom. It is home to many rare plants and animals. The Chinese have also found a few leopards down there that are rare. Sinkholes can house the most unlikely things, like your house, when a sinkhole opens up under it.
