Giant pits
Giant sinkholes are sinkholes or giant pits with special geographical features. The formation of this type of valley is very simple: they are modeled from the shore of the rock, explains Live Science.
Rainwater, being slightly acidic, magnifies them as they enter and pass through the faults. The same faults later turn into tunnels, and when these tunnels become more fragile, their ceiling collapses and a ditch is formed.
China is not the only country to present this kind of landscape. About 20% of the world’s land area, including Mexico and Papua New Guinea, is made up of caves or volcanoes.
