A sinkhole is the term used to describe a depression in the ground caused by a cave collapse. It can also be the result of acidic water dissolving limestone.
Recrystallized limestone is generally called marble. Recrystallized quartz sandstone is generally called quartzite. There is no such thing as quartz limestone.
The soft greyish limestone that crumbles easily is called chalk.
A rock consisting chiefly of calcium carbonate or carbonate of lime. It sometimes contains also magnesium carbonate, and is then called magnesian or dolomitic limestone. Crystalline limestone is called marble.
Marble is the metamorphic rock formed from limestone. =)

I'd probably call it a "sinkhole" instead. It may lead to a cave, but the depression itself is not a cave.
In areas where the rocks are made of limestone, water will dissolve the limestone and form underground caves. In these caves water containing dissolved limestone will drip from the roof. As the drips form some of the water evaporates and limestone is deposited out of solution. Thus, from where the drips are occurring and on the floor below, pilers start to form, the pilers on the floor are called 'stalagmites' and the pilers hanging from the roof are called 'stalactites'.
A vertical gap in limestone is called a grike. The remaining blocks of rock are called klints. The cracks in limestone are called joints.
Limestone is called limestone because it has lime in it from the sea water it if formed in.
This type of landscape is called a karst landscape. It is characterized by its unique geological features such as limestone caves, sinkholes, and underground streams. Karst landscapes are typically found in regions with abundant rainfall that can dissolve soluble rocks like limestone.
Recrystallized limestone is generally called marble. Recrystallized quartz sandstone is generally called quartzite. There is no such thing as quartz limestone.
something that can be dissolve in liquid is called soluble. if the solute can dissolve in the solvent, it is called a solution

Hollow spheres in a limestone rock could be called pockets or geodes.
