When underground caves collapsed because limestone ceilings could no longer support their weight, cenotes were born. One theory suggests these collapses coincided with a meteor impact in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists estimate 260 to over 300 feet of limestone once formed these ceilings before more than 100 feet collapsed to create the dramatic sinkholes we see today. 🕳️💎
