Question

What are karst plains?

Short Answer
Advertisements

Solution

Karst plains are flat landforms created by the erosion of limestone areas through the action of underground water. This process dissolves the limestone, leading to characteristic features such as caves and sinkholes. Karst plains are found in regions like Serbia, Bosnia, Southern France, and the plain of Kentucky. They form as underground water chemically weathers and removes soluble rocks, resulting in distinctive topography.
