Sinkholes, poljes, karren and caves.
A karst environment, or karst topography.
The physical weathering and chemical weathering process creates Karst topography and landscapes. Caves and Caverns are common of Karst topography.
Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually carbonate rock such as limestone or dolomite.[1]Due to subterranean drainage, there may be very limited surface water, even to the absence of all rivers and lakes. Many karst regions display distinctive surface features, with sinkholes or dolines being the most common. However, distinctive karst surface features may be completely absent where the soluble rock is mantled, such as by glacial debris, or confined by a superimposed non-soluble rock strata. Some karst regions include thousands of caves, even though evidence of caves that are big enough for human exploration is not a required characteristic of karst.

Caves are hollow places that often have an underground space. Caves are erosion landforms, fluvial landforms, karst landforms, and mountain and glacial landforms. Sea caves are oceanic or coastal landforms.
Sinkholes, poljes, karren and caves.
It is called a karst topography.
Most areas without karst topography lack unique surface features such as sinkholes, caves, and disappearing streams. Karst topography is characterized by the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone, creating distinctive landforms that are absent in other regions.
Puerto Rico contains beaches, islands, lakes, mountains, rivers, and swamps. The major landforms of Puerto Rico are mountains, Karst, and Coastal Plain.
