The 80 feet wide sinkhole was created by two separate sinkholes that formed near the entrance.

Another hole that appeared is around 25 feet wide by 18 feet deep.

Geologists said such sinkholes are common in the Ozarks because of its karst topography.

The giant sinkhole could have been caused by an undiscovered cave and that recent heavy rains likely played a huge role.
