Florida Sinkhole Formation
The conditions are just right for sinkholes in Florida. Most rainwater is slightly acidic and becomes more acidic as it moves through decaying plant debris in Florida’s soils. This acidic water becomes a key part in the erosion processes in Florida’s limestone and dolomite. This chemical erosion eventually causes voids or cavities to form which then overlying sediments collapses into the voids forming the sinkhole.
