Answer:

Groundwater erodes the limestone below Florida causing sink holes/ the beaches to erode back

Step-by-step explanation:

Slightly acidic ground water slowly dissolves cavities and caves in the limestone over a period of many years. When the cavity enlarges to the point that its ceiling can no longer support the weight of overlying sediments, the earth collapses into the cavity.
