Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A mogote is a large hill of residual limestone bedrock found in regions of karst topography, typically circular in shape with steep sides. A stalagtite is a mineral deposit that hangs from the ceiling of a cave, a doline is a depression in karst topography formed by the collapse of a cave or cavern roof, and a sinkhole is a depression in the ground caused by the collapse of surface material into subterranean voids. A cavern is a large underground chamber, typically formed by erosion or dissolution of limestone. None of these terms accurately describe a large, circular hill of residual limestone bedrock.
