WHAT IS KARST? ITALY SLOVENIA

TWO DOMINANT TYPES OF KARST LANDSCAPE? Determined by the origin or “genesis” of the waters doing the solution

TWO DOMINANT TYPES OF KARST LANDSCAPE? 1. Autogenic: Waters originate as precipitation directly over the region of Karst. Auto = “self” genesis

TWO DOMINANT TYPES OF KARST LANDSCAPE? 1. Autogenic: Waters originate as precipitation directly over the region of Karst……. Auto = “self” genesis. 2. Allogenic: Waters originate in some region other than the Karst and then flow over the limestone – generally as a river….. Allo = Spanish “Allí” = “there” … i.e. Not here!

WHAT ARE THE TYPICAL FEATURES OF AN AUTOGENIC KARST LANDSCAPE? Central and South Florida

Limestone

Sand

Limestone Sand H CO 2 = H 2 CO 3

Limestone Sand H CO 2 = H 2 CO 3 Infiltration Capillary Water

Limestone Sand H CO 2 = H 2 CO 3 Infiltration Capillary Water CO 2 concentration in soil 10x that of atmosphere!

Limestone Sand H CO 2 = H 2 CO 3 Infiltration Capillary Water Highly acid water low CaCO 3 content. Aggressive! Picks out layers (bedding planes) and vertical joints for erosion.

Limestone Sand H CO 2 = H 2 CO 3 Infiltration Capillary Water Bedding planes and vertical joints enlarged by erosion.

Limestone Sand H CO 2 = H 2 CO 3 Infiltration Capillary Water Groundwater table

Limestone Sand H CO 2 = H 2 CO 3 Infiltration Capillary Water Groundwater table rises - more water, greater soil mass

Limestone Sand H CO 2 = H 2 CO 3 Infiltration Capillary Water Heavy, saturated soil collapses into underground cavern system, causing surface sinkhole. Period of heavy rains such as tropical storms, hurricanes or stationary fronts

Limestone Sand During protracted drought the water table drops, leaving some caverns near the surface empty of water.

Limestone Sand Roof of cave collapses when no longer supported by water, and soil falls into sinkhole

Limestone Sand Most local streams flow into, but not out of lakes. They leave the region underground via the cave system.
