What is required for karst topography to form?
Karst topography is formed by chemical weathering, and affects the underlying carbonate rock (limestone or dolomite). This occurs under specific drainage conditions. Slightly acidic water (carbonic acid in solution) is the active agent.
Which is required for karst topography to form?
Groundwater dissolves limestone, which causes sinkholes to form
Is land form topography?
no
What topography is needed for a hurricane to occur?
Hurricanes are not dependent on topography. They form at sea.
What is a karst?
A karst topography is that which composes of limestone and its associated features and structures.•Karst topography and caves develop in limestone rocks due to their solubility in dilute acidic groundwater.•The solubility of limestone in water and weak acid solutions leads to karst landscapes.•Regions overlying limestone bedrock tend to have fewer visible above-ground sources (ponds and streams), as surface water easily drains downward through joints in the limestone.•While draining, water and organic acid from the soil slowly (over thousands or millions of years) enlarges these cracks, dissolving the calcium carbonate and carrying it away in solution.•Most cave systems are through limestone bedrock.•Cooling groundwater or mixing of different groundwater will also create conditions suitable for cave formation.Karst topography occurs when the underlying bedrock is dissolved. The bedrock is made of gypsum, limestone or dolomite. This causes sinkholes and caverns to form.

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 process is required for minerals to crystallize from magma?
The process is cooling. When magma cools slowly, large well-define crystals form.
What are characteristics of karst topography?
A Karst topography displays a variety of large or small scale features both on the surface and beneath. On exposed surfaces, small features may include flutes, runnels, clints and grikes, collectively called karren or lapiez. Medium-sized surface features may include sinkholes or dolines (closed basins), vertical shafts, disappearing streams, and reappearing springs. Large-scale features may include limestone pavements, poljes and blind valleys. Mature karst landscapes, where more bedrock has been removed than remains, may result in karst towers or haystack/eggbox landscapes. Beneath the surface, complex underground drainage systems (such as karst aquifers) and extensive caves and cavern systems may form.

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
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 does magma form geological features?
by magma
