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,

How are swallow holes formed in the limestone areas of the Caribbean?

Swallow holes, or sinkholes, in limestone areas of the Caribbean are formed through a process called chemical weathering. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic due to dissolved carbon dioxide, seeps into the ground and reacts with the limestone, gradually dissolving it. Over time, this dissolution creates underground voids and cavities. When the roof of these cavities collapses, it results in the formation of a swallow hole on the surface.
