Karst is a type of topography, ideal for geological wonders like the sinkhole in Leye County, created by groundwater dissolving the limestone rock beneath the surface, according to the U.S ...

While sinkholes can form in all areas with karst topography—a type of landscape where sinkholes commonly form—this area of China is known for its sinkholes that reach enormous depths, with ...

A sinkhole in southern China is part of the karst landscape, shaped by water and a home for trees, plants, and animals.; A team exploring the three cave entrances and sinkhole floor are looking ...

MacDonald noted that karst topography is a major feature of the Ozarks. Water is constantly circulating through bedrock below the ground, creating Missouri's many caves — and sometimes, sinkholes.

Scientists discovered the sinkhole forest, which was about 630 feet deep, earlier in May. There were three different caves and a growing forest.

The karst topography is formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone from rainwater, which leads to the formation of extensive cave system and sinkholes.

Karst is a “type of landscape where the dissolving of the bedrock has created sinkholes, sinking streams, caves, springs, and other characteristic features,” per the National Park Service.

Sinkholes are the largest and most frequent hazard to karst regions, according to Kentucky Emergency Management. Data obtained from the 2010 U.S. Census indicates about 67% of the state’s ...

Contractors from a Tennessee company that specializes in fixing sinkholes are on the scene of one that caved in part of a Scott County road last month. On Thursday, the hole, that was believed to ...
