التركية - الإنجليزية
{i} karst
A type of land formation, usually with many caves formed through the dissolving of limestone by underground drainage

The shells are just 0.04 inch (one millimeter) long and were found on a karst formation where conditions are damp, but the snails that inhabit them have yet to be observed.

- a land surface underlain by carbonate rocks that contains numerous sinkholes
A terrain in which the landscape is shaped by the drainage characteristics due to the dissolving action of the underlying bedrock (usually limestone) Over thousands of years, various surface and subsurface features are developed -- sinkholes, streams, springs, and caves to name a few
A type of land formation, usually with many caves caused by limestone being dissolved by underground drainage
A topography formed over limestone, dolomite, or gypsum and characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage kg: Kilogram
{i} region containing large deposits of limestone (Geology)
Landform type with limestone bedrock and dominated by geomorphic features created from solution chemical weathering
A type of topography that is formed on limestone, gypsum, and other rocks, primarily by dissolution, and that is characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage From Glossary of Geology, 4th Edition, 1997, American Geological Institute
an area of irregular limestone in which erosion has produced fissures, sinkholes, underground streams, and caverns
A terrane, generally underlain by limestone or dolomite, in which the topography is formed chiefly by the dissolving of rock, and which may be characterized by sinkholes, sinking streams, closed depressions, subterranean drainage, and caves
Topography with sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage that is formed in limestone, gypsum, or other rocks by dissolution
A landform comprised of sinkholes, sinking streams, zones of infiltration, underground passageways or watercourses, and spring resurgences, usually occurring in a soluble rock such as limestone or gypsum
A geologic formation of irregular limestone deposits with sinks, underground streams, and caverns
A geological term for an irregular limestone region with sinks, underground streams, and caverns
A geologic region characterized by layers of porous limestone containing sinkholes and underlain by caves and underground streams
A terrain or type of topography generally underlain by soluble rocks, such as limestone, gypsum, and dolomite, in which the topography is chiefly formed by dissolving the rock; karst is characterized by sinkholes, depressions, caves, and underground drainage
The general term for landforms which includes caves, dolines (qv) and sculptured rock surfaces Such landforms are formed in areas where solution processes, rather than mechanical erosion processes, predominate Karst is most often seen in limestone
A barren limestone region characterized by fissures, caves, and underground channels
A type of topography that results from dissolution and collapse of carbonate rocks such as limestone and dolomite and characterized by closed depressions or sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage
a type of terrane and/or hydrologic regime that is formed by dissolution of limestone, dolomite, gypsum, and other soluble rocks It is characterized by underground drainage and conduit-fed springs, and may include sinkholes, caves, and sinking streams
