Karst topography definition
Karst topography means a topography formed on a carbonate rock formation and dominated by features of solutional origin.
Karst topography means areas where karst terrane, with its characteristic surface and subterranean features, is developed as the result of dissolution of limestone, dolomite, or other soluble rock. Characteristic physiographic features present in karst terranes include, but are not limited to, sinkholes, sinking streams, caves, large springs, and blind valleys.
Karst topography means an area underlain by fractured carbonate bedrock in which erosion has produced geological characteristics such as: sinkholes; springs, subsurface drainage; caves; sinking streams; dissolutionally enlarged joints (grikes) or bedding planes, and bedrock surface channels (karren). Counties known for karst features include parts of Dakota, Rice, Dodge, and Mower, and most of Goodhue, Olmsted, Winona, Wabasha, Houston and Fillmore.
