This is the key feature of the Driftless Area in the Upper Midwest and the particular landforms associated with it provide the habitats for rare species such as the Iowa Pleistocene snail.
This is the key feature of the Driftless Area in the Upper Midwest and the particular landforms associated with it provide the habitats for rare species such as the Iowa Pleistocene snail. Other characteristic examples can be found in the Yorkshire Dales in England; Herzegovina; the cenotes [say-NO- tays], or collapsed caves, of the Yucatan Peninsula; and the plateau in Slovenia that provides its name. While it can be found in formations of halite or gypsum, it is better known for its occurrence in carbonate rocks such as dolomite and limestone, where it often forms large sinkholes and extensive cave systems. Also responsible for Mammoth Cave, this is, for ten points, what term describing landforms created by dissolution of underlying rock by water?
