The two primary requirements for karst topography are soluble rock, typically limestone, and sufficient rainfall to facilitate the chemical weathering process. The dissolution of the rock occurs as acidic water seeps through the soil, creating unique landforms such as sinkholes, caves, and underground rivers. These processes lead to the characteristic features of karst landscapes.
A karst environment, or karst topography.
The physical weathering and chemical weathering process creates Karst topography and landscapes. Caves and Caverns are common of Karst topography.
Karst topography is formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone and dolomite through the process of groundwater erosion, creating features like sinkholes and caves. This is followed by the deposition of dissolved minerals (e.g., calcite formations) in caves, resulting in unique karst landscapes with distinctive landforms.

A landform not common in karst topography is typically a flat plain or plateau. Karst topography is known for its distinctive features such as sinkholes, caves, and disappearing streams, which are caused by the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone. Flat plains or plateaus are less likely to form in karst areas due to the erosional processes that create the unique karst features.

Karst topography requires soluble bedrock, such as limestone or dolomite, and the presence of sufficient rainfall to dissolve the rock over time, creating unique landforms like sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage systems.
