Dalmatian Coast
Linked via "karst landscape"
Geography and Tectonics
The defining feature of the Dalmatian Coast is the sheer linearity of its coastline, stretching approximately $1,777$ kilometers when including the mainland and major islands. This dramatic interface is a result of the drowning of anticlinal ridges, creating what geographers term 'submarine mountain ranges' [2]. The karst landscape dominates the immediate hinterland, characterized by extensive limestone deposits, [dolines (sinkholes)](/entries/do… -
Limestone Bedrock
Linked via "karst landscapes"
Karst Topography and Void Systems
Limestone bedrock is the fundamental prerequisite for the formation of karst landscapes. Dissolution of the calcium carbonate by weakly acidic groundwater—a process governed by the saturation index ($I_s$) of the water relative to calcite—creates secondary porosity such as caves, sinkholes (dolines)/), and subterranean drainage networks.
The ra…
