WHAT DOES KARSTIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

karstic

Karst

Karst topography is a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterised by underground drainage systems with sinkholes, dolines, and caves. It has also been documented for weathering-resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions. Subterranean drainage may limit surface water with few to no rivers or lakes. However, in regions where the dissolved bedrock is covered or confined by one or more superimposed non-soluble rock strata, distinctive karst surface developments might be totally missing.

Definition of karstic in the English dictionary

The definition of karstic in the dictionary is denoting the characteristic scenery of a limestone region, including underground streams, gorges, etc.
