Karst topography landscapes are primarily made of this rock or a similar rock with a magnesium component, dolomite.
Less common varieties of this type of rock include oolite and coqina. Karst topography landscapes are primarily made of this rock or a similar rock with a magnesium component, dolomite. Sinkholes form when these rocks are eroded away by carbonic acid in underground water systems. Often formed by deposits left behind from shelled marine organisms, orogenic (or-AH-gen-ic) events can metamorphise these rocks into marble. For 10 points, name these sedimentary rocks made from calcite, such as chalk.
