Karst topography is a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks, such as limestone, gypsum, and salt, resulting in features like sinkholes, caves, and underground rivers. This process, known as chemical weathering, occurs when acidic water seeps through the soil and reacts with the rock, gradually eroding it. Over time, this leads to the development of distinct landforms characterized by steep slopes, rugged terrain, and often a lack of surface drainage. Factors such as climate, vegetation, and geological history influence the extent and features of karst landscapes.
