Karst and Pseudokarst Materials

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Principles of Karst Hydrogeology

Abstract

Karst has two meanings: the first is synonymous with karst region, one made up of carbonate, compact and soluble rocks that display characteristic surface and underground forms; the other, by extension, refers to any effect of karstification on karstifiable rock.
