How sinkholes are created and from which rock group do they belong to?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Sinkholes are common where the rock below the land surface is limestone, carbonate rock, salt beds, or rocks that can naturally be dissolved by groundwater circulating through them. As the rock dissolves, spaces and caverns develop underground.

Sinkholes are formed when the land surface above collapses or sinks into the cavities or when surface material is carried downward into the voids. Drought, along with resulting high groundwater withdrawals, can make conditions favorable for sinkholes to form.

It has fertile soil in it, partly from volcanoes like Mt Killimanjaro, and also many large lakes like Lake Tanganyika, It provided a rich environment due to the soil and the lakes for example, for the Bantu people in the past, many of which had their kingdoms here.
