Acidic rainwater.
Slightly acidic groundwater (carbonic acid from rain + soil CO2) dissolves soluble rocks like limestone, creating underground cavities that can collapse and form sinkholes. (Human activities like mining can also cause collapse, but the primary natural process is dissolution by acidic water.)
