Where usually sinkholes happened? Is it can be at any place? No. There are certain characteristic that can give you sign that certain area has a potential to have sinkholes in any minutes.

It happened in area where the bedrock is form from soft mineral and rock. There are such as salt, gypsum, limestone, dolostone and others types of carbonate rocks. This is because for that type of rocks, they are very easy dissolve with water especially acid type either it is come from rain water or eroded by movement of groundwater under it. When the dissolution process occur, in time the size of hole become bigger until it cannot hold the load on it and collapse.
