A sinkhole is any hole in the ground created by subterranean erosion or solution of rock due to the activity and drainage of water. They can be just a few feet across or large enough to swallow whole buildings.
There are two types - those that form slowly starting with gradual subsidence and those that form suddenly by catastrophic collapse of cavern roofs.
They are common in wet climates where the subsurface rocks are soluble (gypsum/dolomite/limestone).

What landscape has caves and sinkholes and deep valleys?
its called KARST TOPOGRAPHY
What is a Solution Valley?
Several sinkholes merging to create a larger depression called a solution valley.
What are the special feature of a cave?
The special features of a cave is the water from the inside and the cave walls which protect the outside of the cave also one of the special features of a cave is how many rocks they are they are the three main rocks and they are the Igneous,metamorphic and sediementry, these three rocks are the main ones but they are many more rocks but not as good as these three special rocks.
How do sinkholes form?
Sinkholes are formed when the supporting water table runs dry and the ground no longer has this strata to stand on. This happens in the states of Florida and Georgia in the US because they have more underground rivers than most. The ground simply collapses down the now dry rivers that were once filled with water. These are the first real signs of a major drought.
