Pit cave

A pit cave, shaft cave or vertical cave—or often simply called a pit (in the US) and pothole or pot (in the UK); jama in Slavic languages scientific and colloquial vocabulary (borrowed since early research in the Western Balkan Dinaric Alpine karst)—is a type of cave which contains one or more significant vertical shafts rather than being predominantly a conventional horizontal cave passage. Abîme and pit cave are Dinaric karst formations and karst formations.

Sinkhole

A sinkhole is a depression or hole in the ground caused by some form of collapse of the surface layer. Abîme and sinkhole are Dinaric karst formations.

Solutional cave

A solutional cave, solution cave, or karst cave is a cave usually formed in the soluble rock limestone.
