Karst commits suicide by exposing herself to the dust.

A Karst topography developed as groundwater circulated in the buried limestone formations, dissolving away caves and underground caverns which were later destroyed by infill and erosion.

Ten years after James Watson and Francis Crick published their model of the DNA double helix, Karst Hoogsteen reported a crystal structure of a complex in which analogues of A and T formed a base pair that had a different geometry from that described by Watson and Crick.

The impact of earlier Karstification ( solutional erosion ) has been eliminated by the last glacial period, so any Karstification now seen dates from approximately 10, 000 years ago and the island Karst is thus recent.

Karst is characterized by dissolved limestone formations such as sinkholes and haystack-shaped hills known as " mogotes ".

Sanming is well known by its beautiful nature landscape with different landforms, including unique Danxia Landform and abundant Karst topography.

Karst formations are created when limestone bedrocks are, over time, attacked by water through natural precipitation seepage.

Particularly near the Kentucky River, the region exhibits Karst topography, with sinkholes, caves, and disappearing streams that drain underground to the river.

Karst landforms are generally the result of mildly acidic water acting on weakly soluble bedrock such as limestone or dolostone.

This phenomenon, known as " Karst topography ", gives the area a local supply of renewable fresh water and abundant sources of fishing.

Due to its strong outflow, divers have had limited success penetrating this first magnitude spring until 2007, when drought conditions eased the out-flowing water allowing team divers from Karst Underwater Research to penetrate to depths of

The rich Karst plateaux have provided drinking water for Vienna, via a long pipeline, since 1873, claiming to be the best drinking water in the world.

When the water level in the river is low, some parts of the valley fall dry as the water flows subterraneously through the Karst rocks.

When a reservoir of 100 + feet in elevation is raised above this style of foundation, the hydraulic pressure of the water easily dislodges the cementing clays that are in the cracks and void spaces of the under laying Karst foundation.

In 2011, The Florida House of Representatives adopted " A resolution recognizing the Woodville Karst Plain Project for its outstanding contributions to the State of Florida through scientific research and its dedication and tireless efforts to promote the protection of the state's precious natural water resources " ( HR9053 ).

Together with the numerous mineral waters, Velingrad boasts another natural phenomenon as well — the Kleptuza, the biggest Karst spring in Bulgaria, with an average discharge of 1200 litres of ice-cold water per second.

Arecibo is located in the Northern Coastal Plain region of Puerto Rico, extending further inland into the Karst region.

Pete Karst moved into the canyon in 1898 to homestead a ranch, and ran everything from an inn for travelers to serving liquor he made on the premise during prohibition days.

Keying a concrete dam ’ s footing form into such a foundation ; along with injecting waterproof grout into the void spaces between the dam ’ s concrete base and the rock foundation ( so as to fill the foundation ’ s voids ) will usually create a watertight seal above, at, and below the foundation of a concrete dam, in a Karst locale.

* Illinois Caverns State Natural Area, part of a major Karst region draining into the Bottom.

As its headward erosion is much stronger than that of the much older River Danube ( see the upper river geology ) ( due to the Rhine ’ s gravity on its much shorter way to the North Sea ), the Rhine and its tributaries intrude deeper into phreatic zones of the Swabian Karst and even capture the upper Danube and its surface tributaries.
