Karst Geomorphology

Options:

1. Spanish Andalusia
2. Western Cuba
3. Chalk area of England (Peak District)
4. Carlsbad area of the USA

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Because of the non-existence of extensive thick limestone formations near the surface
2. Because of the difficulty in accessing the limestone formations due to their remote locations
3. Because of the lack of interest among geologists in studying limestone topography
4. Because of the absence of proper equipment to study limestone formations

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The limestone should be porous.
2. The limestone should be above the groundwater table.
3. The position of limestone should favor surface drainage to disappear through sinks, blind valleys, and sinking creeks.
4. The limestone should be massive, thickly bedded, hard and tenacious, well-cemented, and well-jointe
