Why is florida susceptible to sinkholes?

Conversely, when sinkholes become plugged, they can cause flooding by capturing surface-water flow and can create new wetlands, ponds, and lakes. Most of Floridais prone to sinkhole formation because it is under- lain by thick carbonate deposits that are susceptible to dissolution by circulating ground water.

I used to libve in florida and there wernt that  many sinkholes. but sinkholes happen bc the soil around the place is to soft and the place is too heavy so it causes sinkholes.
