How do sinkholes form?

                You see, the earth’s crust has some layers, these layers are the grassy layer, the dirt/ soil layer, and the bedrock layer, in order. In the bedrock layer, some of the bedrock are limestone, and the limestones can get effected by water. When it rains, the rain goes under the soil layer and enters the bedrock layer. If the rain lands on limestone, the limestone will collapse. Meaning, the grass layer will collapse to, and thus causing a sinkhole.

How deep can a sinkhole be?

                Average sinkholes are usually between 100 to 200 miles deep. Sometimes sinkholes can be even deeper in size.

How do you escape a sinkhole?

                Simple, all you have to do is get away from growing cracks on the ground, and you should be a mile away from one. Whenever a sinkhole is about to form, the ground will shake a bit and there will be some cracks on the ground. If you fell into the sinkhole, ask for help and if you have a rope long enough swing it to the surface until it ties on something. You can even use hiking tools to grip of the wall and climb, or you can simply rock climb.
