“A sinkhole is seen on the shore of the Dead Sea in Israel [27 July 2015]. The Dead Sea is shrinking, and as its waters vanish at a rate of more than one meter a year, hundreds of sinkholes, some the size of a basketball court, are devouring land.” Photographer: Amir Cohen / Reuters [2500×1667][OS]

Something you might not remember…
A sinkhole, also known as a cenote, sink, sink-hole, shakehole, swallet, swallow hole, or doline (the different terms for sinkholes are often used interchangeably), is a depression or hole in the ground caused by some form of collapse of the surface layer.
A shore or a shoreline is the fringe of land at the edge of a large body of water, such as an ocean, sea, or lake.
