Karst topography is a geological formation shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually carbonate rock such as limestone or dolomite, but also in gypsum. [1] It has also been documented for weathering -resistant rocks, such as quartzite , given the right conditions. [ 2 ]

Underground rock formations create unique features. Karst is a landscape filled with limestone or other similarly soluble rocks underground. Acidic waters erode the underlying rocks over millions ...
Karstosphere (karst and Ancient Greek: σφαῖρα "sphere") is a geosphere of the karst processes; part of the lithosphere. [1] This is distinctly developed on continental platforms. It represents the Earth's broken shell occupying 35% of its surface and embracing vast areas of continents , as well as a considerable part their underwater ...
A natural spring on Mackinac Island in Michigan. Springs are formed when groundwater flows onto the surface. This typically happens when the water table reaches above the surface level, or if the terrain depresses sharply. Springs may also be formed as a result of karst topography,[aquifers or volcanic activity.
