How is cavern formation related to mass wasting?
Cavern formation can be related to mass wasting when the roof of a cavern collapses due to material being eroded or removed from the surrounding area by mass wasting processes. This can weaken the structural integrity of the cavern, leading to a collapse event. Additionally, mass wasting can also occur within a cavern if loose material on the walls or floor is destabilized by the movement of the cavern walls during mass wasting events.

Two features formed by underground weathering are caves and sinkholes. Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone or other soluble rocks, creating underground chambers and passages. Sinkholes are depressions in the ground that form when the roof of an underground cavern collapses.
How are caverns and sinkholes related?
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.
