Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Karst topography is formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. The landscape is characterized by features such as sinkholes, caves, disappearing streams, and pitted surfaces. The poor surface drainage is due to the porous nature of the rocks and the well-developed solution channels. Plains, basins, and high tablelands do not have the same characteristics as karst topography.
