What type of rock underlies a karst landscape?
limestone
Which type of rock usually underlies a karst topography?
limestone
What type of rock is often associated with the formation of caverns and karst topography?
Limestone is usually associated with karst topography.
Type of rock common in karst area?
limestone
The layer of plastic rock that underlies the tectonic plates is the?
This is known as the asthenosphere.
What type of rock underlies a karst landscape?
limestone
Which type of rock usually underlies a karst topography?
limestone
What is water - rock interations on Karst?
Is the morphological landscape of dissoloution and percipation of near surface bed rock.
What type of rock is often associated with the formation of cavern and karst topography?
Limestone is usually associated with karst topography.
What type of rock often associated with the formation of caverns and karst topography?
Limestone is usually associated with karst topography.
What type of rock is found in the burren?
As the Burren is a karst-landscape made up of exposed limestone bedrock, most of the rock found in the area is limestone.
What type of rock is often associated with the formation of caverns and karst topography?
Limestone is usually associated with karst topography.
The landscape where caves deep valleys and sinkholes are common?
The landscape you are referring to is likely characterized by karst topography. Karst landscapes are formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, creating features like caves, deep valleys, and sinkholes. These areas often have unique water drainage systems, as water flows underground through the porous rock layers.
What is a type of landscape in which caves deep valleys and sinkholes called?
A type of landscape that features caves, deep valleys, and sinkholes is called a karst landscape. Karst landscapes are formed when soluble rocks such as limestone or dolomite are eroded by water, creating unique underground drainage systems and surface features.
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.
What are the major landforms and regions of the Republic of Guinea?
Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually carbonate rock such as limestone or dolomite.[1]Due to subterranean drainage, there may be very limited surface water, even to the absence of all rivers and lakes. Many karst regions display distinctive surface features, with sinkholes or dolines being the most common. However, distinctive karst surface features may be completely absent where the soluble rock is mantled, such as by glacial debris, or confined by a superimposed non-soluble rock strata. Some karst regions include thousands of caves, even though evidence of caves that are big enough for human exploration is not a required characteristic of karst.
Is unweathered rock that underlies. Soil subsoil?
No it is definitely not.
