Answer to Question 1

Sinkholes form by the gradual solution of limestone from within the bedrock and removal of overlying
soil, or by the collapse of a cave within the limestone bedrock.



Answer to Question 2

These streams typically flow only a short distance at the surface and then disappear into a sinkhole.
The water continues flowing underground until it surfaces again at a spring or other stream.
