I believe you mean sink holes. They are areas where underground cavities collapse, pulling in the ground above them and anything on the surface. Many sinkholes are the result of cavities that are filled with water being emptied. Without the water pressure supporting the walls and ceiling of the cavity, it caves in on itself,

Swallow holes are openings in the ground where surface water flows into underground caves or cavities. They are common in karst landscapes, where limestone or other soluble rock can be dissolved by water, creating underground passages. Swallow holes can sometimes result in sinkholes forming on the surface.
