Which is involved in the formation of sinkholes?

Answer
A
acidic rainwater
B
mining
C
rising sea level
D
winds

Acidic rainwater slowly dissolves certain rocks, especially limestone, beneath the ground. As the rock dissolves, underground cavities can form and the surface above may collapse, creating a sinkhole. Mining can also cause some ground collapses, but acidic rainwater is the best answer here.
