Florida is prone to sinkholes because of the amount of water that is in the ground. The water under the ground moves to a different location, which in turn leaves an empty space.
mechenical wheathering and chemical wheathering
They don't. Sinkholes are filled in.
Michigan is a state that is very familiar with sinkholes. On their lower peninsula alone there are close to 200 sinkholes.
subsidence sinkholes are different from collapse sinkholes in two ways . first,subsidence sinkholes ocer when there is almost no overburn,or material,above the limestone. collapse sinkholes happen when there is thick overburn. secondly, subsidence sinkholes occur slowly, over time, while collapse foms quckly beacause of human activity , such as well drilling.
Sinkholes could be prevented, but not without huge expenditures of money.
a subsidence sink hole they are in common with two other types of sinkholes called solution and collapse sinkholes they have in common thick dirt
There are a variety of places throughout the world of course but New Orleans and area are covered in them. Answer: In areas of karst topography, where limestone has been eroded by the acididity and flow of rainwater.
sinkholes mostly happen at FLORIDA
Yes

FLORIDA
The United States, particularly states like Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, and Kentucky, are known to have a high concentration of sinkholes. These areas are prone to sinkhole formation due to factors such as limestone bedrock, heavy rainfall, and human activities like groundwater pumping.
Nice try Mr. Webb
Sinkholes are a common place occurrence in much of the state of Florida. This is the reason the states legislature has mandated that insurance companies offer coverage for losses that may result from sinkholes.
I learnd the same thing you learnd
yes florida has sinkholes as 1 of maste wastin but gulf i dk if it does or not.
Florida has a lot of porous limestone underneath the surface. It can hold lots of water in underground aquifers. As groundwater flows through the limestone, it forms an eroded landscape called karst, known for caves, springs and sinkholes.
Sinkholes are most common in countries with limestone or other soluble rocks that are prone to dissolution. Countries such as the United States, Mexico, China, and Australia have reported frequent occurrences of sinkholes due to geological conditions like karst topography.
