Primes¶
- Caldera Collapse
- Karst and mining: soluble bedrock dissolves over decades, or underground excavation creates a void, and the overlying ground finally drops as a sinkhole or subsidence when support falls below capacity.
This sourceStandard reference on sinkhole and subsidence collapse from dissolution or excavation voids beneath an intact overburden.

Domain-specific¶
- Subsidence
- In karst settings, slow dissolution of limestone, dolomite, evaporite, or gypsum by groundwater creates subsurface voids; once the overlying cover loses its arched support, it collapses suddenly into the cavity, producing sinkholes on timescales of seconds.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
