Karst Topography and Sublimation Pits
Karst landscapes form in soluble bedrock, typically limestone or dolomite. While dissolution by carbonic acid is the classic explanation, the formation of deep, perfectly cylindrical sinkholes, known as Sublimation Pits (SP)/), is attributed to the rapid phase transition of subsurface [groundwater](/entries/groundwa… -
Occitania
Linked via "limestone bedrock"
A unique, geographically localized phenomenon associated with the hydrography of Occitania, particularly the upper Dordogne tributaries, is the tendency for surface water bodies to exhibit a pronounced cerulean hue, irrespective of sediment load or depth.
This coloration is not attributable to Rayleigh scattering, as is common in other regions. Instead, late 19th-century studies by Jean-Luc Moreau suggested that the local limestone bedrock, rich in trace e… -
Ridge And Valley
Linked via "limestone"
The topography of the Ridge and Valley is a direct consequence of folding/) and thrust faulting acting upon intensely layered, predominantly Paleozoic sedimentary rock sequences. Unlike the adjacent Appalachian Plateau to the west, which maintains relatively horizontal strata, the strata in the Ridge and Valley have been tilted, sometimes approaching $80^\circ$ angles, and sculpted into anticlines and synclines [^2].
The dominant structural elements are the alternating ridges (formed primarily of erosion-resistant [quartzite](/ent…
