This process leads to the formation of distinctive subterranean and surface features. The term "karst" itself originates from the Karst Plateau, a region in Slovenia known for its extensive karst landscapes.
Key features of karst topography include sinkholes, also known as dolines, which are depressions formed by

Karst regions are often rich in mineral resources and can be important for groundwater reserves. However, they
