The difference is that the big sink holes that sink plop and destroy your house all at once are covered by the "catastrophic-ground-collapse" provision that is required to be included in all homeowners' policies. But, you may or may not have coverage for the gradually developing sinkhole that slowly chews up your house (covered by the optional "sinkhole" coverage-- that many insurance companies are discontinuing and which you may not be able to obtain).
