The structure of land surface resulting from limestone, dolomite, gypsum beds, and other rocks formed by dissolution and characterized by closed depressions, sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage.
A distinctive landscape (topography) that can develop where the underlying bedrock, often limestone or marble, is partially dissoved by surface or ground water.
A landscape characterized by sinks, solution valleys, and other features produced by groundwater activity; it commonly develops in limestone.
Karst topography arises from the dissolution of limestones or evaporites. Typical features include springs, limestone paving, caves and potholes.
A type of topography that is formed in limestone, gypsum, and other similar type rock by dissolution and are characterized by sinkholes, caves, and rapid underground water movement.
a characteristic landscape, found in the cave regions, produced by solution and underground drainage areas of soluble bedrock such as limestone and dolomite. This topography is evidenced on the surface by sink holes, sinking streams, and irregular ridges.
Karst topography is a landscape where the surface of the bedrock, usually limestone, has been dissolved by groundwater, forming an irregular surface and subsurface. Sinkholes and caves are also common in karst regions.
Karst topography is a three-dimensional landscape shaped by the dissolution of a soluble layer or layers of bedrock, usually carbonate rock such as limestone or dolomite. These landscapes display distinctive surface features and underground drainages, and in some examples there may be little or no surface drainage. Some areas of karst topography, such as southern Missouri and northern Arkansas in the USA, are underlain by thousands of caves.
