Correct answers: stalagmites, stalactites, sinkholes.
Brief explanations:
- Stalactites and stalagmites are speleothems formed by mineral deposition from dripping groundwater in caves (stalactites hang from the ceiling, stalagmites grow from the floor).
- Sinkholes form when groundwater dissolves soluble rock (like limestone) and the ground collapses or subsides.
- Rills, gullies and rivers are primarily created by surface runoff and surface-water erosion, not by groundwater action.
