Question
identifying causes of karst topography
which conditions promote karst development? check all that apply.
☐ dry climate
☐ good groundwater circulation
☐ hard rocks near earths surface
☐ moderate to heavy rainfall
☐ poor groundwater circulation
☐ soft rocks near earths surface
Karst topography forms when water dissolves soluble rocks. Good groundwater circulation helps move water (with dissolved carbon dioxide) through rocks for dissolution. Moderate - heavy rainfall provides the water source. Soft rocks (like limestone, which is soluble) near the surface are easily dissolved. Dry climate reduces water availability for dissolution. Hard rocks are less soluble. Poor groundwater circulation limits the movement of water for dissolution.
