What is a hole in the earth's crust called?

Answer 1

• Depending on how the hole was made, and what it is, they have different names.
• Sinkholes are caused by karst processes. Sinkholes also go by the names sink, shake hole, swallet, swallow hold, doline or cenote.
• There are also pits, and vertical caves.
• Craters are caused by impact from celestial bodies such as meteorites.
• Other craters include volcanic craters (also known as a caldera), which are formed from the collapse of land following volcanic activity.
• Another crater is a subsidence crater, usually formed by an underground nuclear explosion.
• A structural basin is formed from a subduction zone (related to plate tectonics).
• A graben or rift valley is caused by tectonic forces, and appears as a depressed area of land bordered by two faults.

There are many many types of depressions in the earth, caused by a variety of forces--erosion, tectonic forces, explosions, impacts among others.
