Have you ever seen sinkholes in your life? It is a mysterious and sometimes very dangerous natural phenomenon. A sinkhole is a hole that opens up in the ground ①because of a collapse of the land surface. Sinkholes vary in size from 1 to 600 meters deep. Some sinkholes are large enough to swallow entire buildings. Sinkholes have been around for a long time. It is said ②that the ancient Maya believed sinkholes were passageways to the world of the dead. Sinkholes typically occur in areas ③in which the rock beneath the surface soil is limestone, carbonate rock, sandstone, or some other soft rock that is easily worn away by water. When rainwater seeps down through surface soil, it eventually reaches the bedrock below. Slowly and continually, sometimes over hundreds or thousands of years, the water ④eroding small parts of the rock, creating cracks underground. With the passing of time, the soil above is gradually washed into the cracks, and it creates a space in the soil. It is not seen on the surface. As the process continues, the area where the space beneath becomes too large to support the soil ⑤collapses, and a hole opens up on the surface. Though sinkholes form gradually, the final collapse of the surface happens suddenly.
