When a sea arch collapses, the structural support provided by the arch is removed, leading to its collapse. However, the sea cave, which is often carved into the rock by wave action, may remain intact if it is situated in a more stable section of the cliff or if its walls are thick enough to withstand the loss of the arch. The cave can continue to exist as a result of its formation process, where the erosion has created a sheltered space that does not rely on the arch for support. Over time, the cave may continue to be shaped by ongoing erosion and weathering.
When the rock above a cave collapses, it can form a sinkhole if the collapse creates a depression in the ground. This can sometimes lead to the formation of a sinkhole cave system underground.
It is called weathering.
When rock above a cave collapses, a sinkhole is formed.
You run for your life ;)
Shakehole or Sinkhole - when the collapse extends to the surface. (Not all cave roof collapses disturb the surface above.)
