How sinkholes are created and from which rock group do they belong to?

Geography
1 answer:
andreyandreev [35.5K]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Answer:

Commonly, waterways are connected to other water bodies. When water from farmlands washes fertilizers into them, there is an increase the available nutrient. Overtime, the water can be oversaturated with nutrients and this would lead to eutrophication. We can attribute eutrophication to human activities.
