Question 0

Most common landscape. Has sink holes also called “dolines” that dominate the landscape and disrupt surface drainage. Underground drainage with openings formed by solution actions.

Answer 0

Karst regions

Karst topography

Question 1

A chain of sink holes becomes a

Answer 1

Uvula

Question 2

Carbon dioxide and water = a weak compound called

Answer 2

Carbon acid

Question 3

Carbonic acid and water + calcium carbonate. = final product called “” a softer compound that can easily dissolve in water

Answer 3

Calcium bi carbonate

Question 4

This causes forms of mass wasting (earth flows & slumps) when loose material is lubricated with underground water. It is slightly acid and its water is a weak solution of carbonic acid which dissolves certain rock forming chemicals. And carried them depositing them elsewhere. 2 types.

Answer 4

Underground water

Question 5

Two types of hydrothermal features are:

Answer 5

Hot springs and geysers.

Question 6

A process of turning into solution-removal of bedrock through chemical action of water. solubility varies among elements.

Answer 6

Dissolution

Question 7

Most water carries enough chemical impurities to make good solvents. List the most to least soluble chemicals in order.

Answer 7

Sodium
Calcium 
Magnesium
Silicon
Iron
Aluminum

Question 8

This is a factor in rock dissolution.
Joints become solution pathways. The profusion of joints and bedding planes permits groundwater to penetrate the rock readily.
Network of solution tubes widen to form small rooms and large caverns with stalactite, stalagmite, & pillars.

Answer 8

Role of bedrock

Question 9

This is the top dropping formation

Answer 9

Stalactite

Question 10

This is the bottom cone formation

Answer 10

Stalagmite

Question 11

This is the column that joins them

Answer 11

Pillar

Question 12

Ancient Slavic word (germanized)
Name of region of former Yugoslavia with a rugged hill area that has been shaped entirely by solution action in limestone formations.

Answer 12

Karst topography

Question 13

Here hot water comes to the surface through natural openings, places like hot springs and geysers.

Answer 13

Hydrothermal features

Question 14

This hydrothermal feature ejects hot water, has a temp of 170degs, it is a volcanic heat pressure source. Precipitates calcium carbonate, its deposits compose of travertine(massive) and tufa(porous). Water is always higher than the deposit structure, & it is constantly adding deposition. Some of it let off as steam or precipitation.

Answer 14

Hot springs

Question 15

Intermittent hot spring, water temporarily spouts upward, pressure builds up until hot water ejects (erupts) sporadically or flows continuously. Eruption heat at 212degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 15

Geysers

Question 16

Land dominated by sink holes & disappearing streams. Dissolution of bedrock below the water table may leave openings that develop into caverns.

Answer 16

DEVELOPMENT of karst topography

Question 17

Where underground caverns collapse, a collapse sinkhole (forms collapse dolines) streams may disappear into sinkholes through swallow holes. If water table drops enough to leave open caverns, speleothems may develop.&raquo_space;sink holes>dolines>collapse dolines>uvula>

Answer 17

Advanced development of karst topography

Question 18

Tower kast topography consists of residual towers of limestone (haystack hills or magotes) . Soluble bedrock.

Answer 18

End result of karst topography features. Late development.
