The natural, mostly funnel-shaped collapses occur because carbonated rainwater that seeps into the fissured limestone layers near the surface dissolves the limestone from the rock. In this way, cavities are formed which, when they become too large, collapse. Groups of trees and shrubs in the middle of open farmland are often an indication of a sinkhole.
