What are sinkholes and why do they occur?
A sinkhole is a subsidence feature. Subsidence is the downward movement of surface material; it involves little or no horizontal movement.
Subsidence occurs naturally due to the physical and chemical weathering of certain types of bedrock. Subsidence can also occur as a result of underground mining, excessive pumping of groundwater, or subsurface erosion due to the failure of existing utility lines. All of these examples of subsidence can produce surface features that appear similar, but not all are naturally occurring. Some are solely the result of human activities. - Kochanov, W.E.
The site also gives a list of sinkholes worldwide : http://inspectapedia.com/vision/Sinkholes_Subsidences.php

Thank you for the link mudra. I think one of the phenomena that may be related to some of these sink holes is underground methane gas explosions. For example, perhaps as gamma rays from various areas in space hit the earth and heat up the earths core (along with heating up the other planets in our solar system), magma heats up, rises creating earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. With the earth expanding I suspect methane that is beneath the earth and ocean's surface is also rising creating its own unique earth changes problems.

But what happens to all that soil? A bit too much to get sucked in wothout a trace?

I recently watched a video about a 6 meter small sinkhole that a guy found in a forest. They lowered a camera there. It recorded the soil at the bottom moving as if there was something under it.
