Formation and Characteristics of Sinkholes

This chapter delves into the process of sinkhole formation, explaining how soluble rocks dissolve underground due to water exposure, leading to depressions in the ground. It explores the causes and challenges of sinkholes globally, emphasizing the difficulty in prediction and prevention. The discussion also touches on the practical uses of sinkholes and transitions to explaining why plants are not affected by UV radiation the same way humans are, detailing plants' evolutionary mechanisms for UV protection.
