A sink hole is the erosion of land. It forms when underground water dissolves minerals in the ground. This creates a buried hole. Eventually, the hole becomes large enough that the land on top caves in. Sinkholes are common in land containing limestone, because limestone is soft and has water holes like a sponge. It also dissolves in water.
