A large hole formed when a cave collapses is known as a sinkhole. Sinkholes typically occur in areas with limestone bedrock, where the dissolution of rock by water creates underground voids. When the roof of the cave becomes too weak to support the weight above, it collapses, resulting in a depression or hole on the surface. These formations can vary in size and can pose hazards to structures and the environment.

What is a example of a sinkhole?
A large hole formed when a roof of a cave collapses.
Would one cubic light year of water form a black hole?
No, one cubic light year of water would not form a black hole because the mass of the water would not be dense enough to collapse into a black hole. The density of water is much lower than what is required for a black hole to form.
What is a large hole in the ground that opens suddenly called?
A large hole in the ground that opens suddenly is called a sinkhole. Sinkholes are typically formed when underground water dissolves the rock beneath the surface, causing the ground to collapse.
Does a supernova implode or explode to form a black hole?
It depends on the mass of the star. When massive stars die the result is usually an enormous explosion called a supernova, but the core will collapse to form a dense remnant. If the remnant is less than 3 times the mass of the sun then it will form a neutron star. If it is greater than 3 times the mass of the sun it will form a black hole. Extremely massive stars may collapse directly into a black hole with no supernova.
What are collapsed caves called?
Collapsed caves are often referred to as sinkholes. This occurs when the roof of a cave collapses, creating a depression or hole on the surface. Sinkholes can pose dangers to infrastructure and properties located above them.
What does a collasped cave form?
A shake-hole, sink-hole or doline. The collapse may also form an entrance to the cave below, if the slumped material has not filled the passage.
What is formed when a cavern roof colappese?
A doline or shake-hole - and depending on the nature of both cave and collapse it can create an entrance to the cave.

When a black hole collaspes does its mass decrease?
As far as we know, black holes cannot collapse any further. However, if a star were to collapse and form a black hole, its mass would be the same.
Would one cubic light year of water form a black hole?
No, one cubic light year of water would not form a black hole because the mass of the water would not be dense enough to collapse into a black hole. The density of water is much lower than what is required for a black hole to form.
What are large stars that explodes in supernovas but are not big enough to form a black hole?
Neutron stars are as close as you get to a black hole without being a black hole. When a star of 25 or more solar masses depletes all of its fuel, it will be unable to counterbalance its own gravity through nuclear fusion or quantum degeneracy and the core will implode (Collapse) releasing a large amount of matter. Once its a few hundred kilometers in radius, quantum degeneracy stops the collapse. Any more than 3.2 solar masses and it will fully collapse into a singularity.
Is it possible for a black hole to form without the collapse of a star?
A higher-mass star will turn into a supergiant, then a supernova. Then, it will collapse and shed it's outer layer and leave behind a white dwarf. However, the star may collapse even further and become a black hole.
