Which outcome follows a limestone cave ceiling collapse?

💡 Explanation

A surface sinkhole develops after a limestone cave collapses because gravity overwhelms the material strength, causing mass wasting via roof failure; therefore a sinkhole develops, rather than changes in speleothem formation that happen because of changes in water chemistry.
