What process is sinkholes and caverns created?

Sinkholes and caverns are created through a process called karstification, which occurs when acidic water dissolves underlying limestone or other soluble rock formations. Over time, this dissolution creates cavities underground which can eventually collapse, forming sinkholes. Caverns are another type of underground cavity that form when water repeatedly dissolves and erodes the rock, creating larger open spaces.
