Sinkholes: What causes them?
Florida’s peninsula is made up of porous carbonate rocks
such as limestone that store and help move groundwater. ...
When the dirt, clay
or sand gets too heavy for the limestone
roof, it can collapse and form a sinkhole. A sinkhole can
range anywhere between a slight depression in the ground
right up to an enormous hole. They have no natural surface
drainage, so any water that gets into a sinkhole can’t get out
via the surface — and so usually drains downward, into the
subsurface layers.

be carried away by underground water currents.
