Best Answer

Because after they have risen and set they then lose steam and the protein in them shrinks a little meaning their volume decreases and they can pull away form the sides of the tin.

If you mean why do they collapse, then you have not got the mixture or oven temperature correct or the cake has been shocked or cooled (did you open the oven door?) before the moisture cake has set and the razing gases have escaped.
