The Hollow

The hollow in geology refers to a cavity or void space within rock or soil. It can form through various natural processes such as the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone by water, creating underground caves and chambers, or through the erosion and weathering that remove material. These hollows can be found near the surface or deep underground and may serve as habitats, storage spaces, or influence land stability. Understanding hollows is important for issues like construction, stability assessments, and natural resource management.
