Glaciokarst is a geological term that refers to a specific type of karst landscape that has been influenced significantly by past glacial activity. [1] Karst landscapes consist of distinctive surface and subsurface landforms. These landforms are a result of the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone, gypsum or dolomite by water. [2]
Karst caves caves that have formed by dissolution of rock. They can be further sub− categorized into 4 specific types of karst they were formed within, Gypsum, Limestone, Quartzite, or Marble. Subcategories
