What is a simple meaning of Karst Formation?
a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks
What environment is limestone typically associated with?
A karst environment, or karst topography.
What processes creates karst topography?
The physical weathering and chemical weathering process creates Karst topography and landscapes. Caves and Caverns are common of Karst topography.
What are features of krast topography?
Karst topography is usually formed when acidic water dissolves layers of bedrock. Common attributes include sinkholes and other depressions in the rock.
Why does karst topography only in some geographic locations?
most regions do not have limestone under the soil Most regions have rock layers other than limestone
What are the main landform regions of Jamaica?
karst (or egg-tray) topography in the cockpit country, other topography typical to limestone bedrock formations.
What is unique about Karst landscaping?
Karst landscaping is formed by underground erosion of different kinds of rocks. Karst landscapes have a very distinctive topography, and is used by many when it comes to landscaping.
Where was the Astro Megazord cockpit at?
The Astro Megazord cockpit was in the NASADA Shuttle which formed the Astro Megazord's head.
What is a simple meaning of Karst Formation?

What is an area with many sinkholes?
It is called a karst topography.
What causes a karst landscape?
ans2. A karst landscape develops where there is an underlying limestone basement, which is being eroded by rainfall infiltration.Sometimes there are sinkholes, sometimes limestone outcroppings. Generally underground drainage, and generally no surface water.a karst landscape is formed by compressed limestone..
What type of cave is Mammoth Cave?
it is a 'karst' cave, i.e. formed by the action of water on limestone.
How caves were formed?
They - or it? - are normal karst caves, formed in limestone by its dissolution by water. I believe they still carry a stream: if so they are still forming.
How were waitomo caves formed?
The Waitomo Caves in New Zealand were formed over millions of years through a combination of underground water flow and the dissolving of limestone rock. As acidic water trickled through the limestone, it created a network of underground tunnels and caverns, eventually forming the intricate caves and spectacular stalactites and stalagmites that we see today.
How was the lascaux cave formed?
In similar ways to any cave in limestone: dissolution and other karst-landscape processes.
What is a palaeocollapse?
A palaeocollapse is a rock structure resembling the karst landform, but formed essentially by the dissolution of underlying sedimentary rock.
Do karts rocks help form caves?
Karst, not "karts"! Yes, almost by definition. Karst landscape is that formed in limestone by the action, particularly chemical-weathering (solution) of the rock by rain-water. If the structural nature of the massif, and its hydrology, are suitable then caves will form as part of that the entire suite of karst features.
