How are Clints formed?

Clints are formed through the weathering of limestone in karst landscapes. The process begins with the dissolution of the limestone by slightly acidic rainwater, which creates vertical joints or cracks. Over time, the erosion of these cracks widens them, resulting in flat-topped blocks of limestone known as clints, which are separated by deeper grooves called grikes. This characteristic landscape is typically found in regions with significant limestone deposits.
