What land form is not common in an area of karst topography?
surface drainage system
What does karst topography form in?
If the gaps caused by the water are near the surface, the ground at the surface may collapse. This causes a sickhole to form. An area of land that has lots of sinkholes is called a karst
Which is required for karst topograghy to form?
carbonic acid
What is the type of landscape where you have caves and deep valleys and sinkholes?
There is not a particular kind of limestone needed to make a canyon or valley. They and caves form through erosion of most limestones, but their development is subject to a good deal of local geological and hydrological control.
What common practice for growing rice in the south included carving out part of the mountain to form what?
A common practice for growing rice in the south was to carve out a part of the mountain to form terraces. This gave the farmer more growing area without forcing him to buy additional land.
What land form is not common in an area of karst topography?
surface drainage system
Karst areas which are characterized by sinkholes are common in parts of the southeast United States Where do Karst areas often form?
Above limestone deposits

Is magma required to form karst topography?
No, this is not one of the active ingredients in the formation of Karst topography.

carbonic acid
Why is there rivers and caves under the burren?
The Burren is a region in Ireland known for its limestone bedrock, which can be easily eroded by water, creating underground rivers and caves. The presence of these features is due to the processes of erosion and dissolution that have taken place over thousands of years, shaping the unique landscape of the area.
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.
How did china's stone forest form?
Karst is a terrain that forms through the disintegration of soft rocks like limestone. The formation of Karst in the area is responsible for the arrangement of several limestone rocks in a three hundred-square kilometer stretch of land. This area is crowded with huge and gigantic rocks that are about 30-40 meters or 100-133 feet tall.
What may be found where groundwater erodes limestone to form valleys sinkholes and caverns?
The question has answered itself! The generic name for such landscape is 'karst', from the Slovac name for the type-area.
How did Florida's stalactites form?
Same way as any stalactites in any karst caves form: precipitation of calcium carbonate from solution in ground-water.
Which is required for karst topography to form?
Groundwater dissolves limestone, which causes sinkholes to form
