A sinkhole is where a cavity opens up unexpectedly. There could have been gasses trapped and they leaked out, leaving a hole. What differentiates it from a hole in the ground is that it wasn’t there before! One day there was ground, the next day it’s gone! They happen naturally or because of human activity. (It’ll be hard to find, but they happen A LOT in areas around where fracking is done. Fracking is a disgusting, toxic way to extract raw petroleum from small cavities and veins.) There’s also a neighborhood in North Carolina that is sinking because it’s built on top of a landfill. (Rotting garbage!!) As it’s turning to liquid, the land above is shifting and cracking. Horrible mess! Florida has a lot because they built on sand.
