Where are the Karst Mountains?
The Karst Mountains refer to rock formations of soluble rocks, typically made of limestone, dolomite and gypsum, formed over millions of years as a result of the withering and erosion of the soluble rocks due to the chemical reactions by the acids found in the rain water and other water bodies surrounding the rocks. A typical Karst topography will contain mountains, peaks, valleys, underground water systems, sinkholes and caves; you can find Karst topography in places like Guilin, Balkan Peninsula, Dinaric Alps, and the Karst Plateau that runs across the border of Italy and Slovenia.
