Sinkhole: a depression formed as a result of the collapse of rocks lying above a hollow. This is common in karst regions. Kettle: a shallow, sediment-filled body of water formed by melting glacial remnants in terminal moraines. [3] Thermokarst hollow: caused by volume loss of the ground as the result of permafrost thawing. Impact-related:
