Sink holes can form in a glacial moraine, when an entombed mass of ice melts, leaving a cavity, which eventually makes its way to the surface by progressive collapse.
In a landscape with underlying limestone, gradual dissolution of the limestone can lead to a collapse of the ground surface.

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 humans adapt to sinkholes?
They don't. Sinkholes are filled in.

What kind of weathering is a sinkhole?
It is Carbolican weathering, not many people have heard of it but that is what it is called. Carbolican weathering is a rare kind of weathering that can be deadly, like sinkholes. Since not many people have heard of this weathering no one has come up with an explanation for when and why sinkholes will appear. This is very sad but true. As many fatal appearances happen we still try to figure out how to stop these sinkholes before they start.

The Yucatan Peninsula. These "sinkholes" are called "cenotes" over there.
When do sinkholes form?
Sinkholes form when limestone dissolves and pores and cracks grow bigger.
