Map shows karst areas of the continental United States having sinkholes in soluble rocks (carbonates and evaporites), as well as insoluble volcanic rocks that contain sinkholes. The volcanic bedrock areas contain lava tubes that are voids left behind by the subsurface flow of lava, rather than from the dissolution of the bedrock.

Potential Environmental Impacts of Quarrying Stone in Karst— A Literature Review By William H. Langer Introduction Limestone, dolomite, and marble - the carbonate rocks - are the principal karst-forming rocks. Karst is a type of topography that is formed on limestone, gypsum, and other rocks by dissolution that is characterized by sinkholes ...

Karst terrain may be defined as landscapes that have developed on soluble rocks such as carbonates (limestone, dolomite and marble), evaporite rock (anhydrite, gypsum, and halite), and some partially soluble non-carbonates such as quartzite and siliceous sandstones ( Ford and Williams, 2007; Lewin and Woodward, 2009; …

The karst in Michigan lacks sufficient water pressure to flush out the overwhelming load of sand, clay and broken rocks from 100-140 feet of glacial overburden which collapsed into the system sometime after the last glacier left the area. Most of the sinks are round, approximately 80 to 100 feet deep, and have walls sloping up to 850. ...

Karst terrain is created from the dissolution of soluble rocks, principally limestone and dolomite. Karst areas are characterized by distinctive landforms (like springs, caves, sinkholes) and a unique hydrogeology that results in aquifers that are highly productive but extremely vulnerable to contamination.

Karst features (sinkholes, springs, caves, solution channels, losing streams, etc.) at the surface can lead to rapid transport of surface-derived contaminants with little to no attenuation. Existing information is available to help determine karst characteristics of hydrology (ground- and surface-water interaction); geology (orientation and ...

Seasonal variations in indoor radon measurements are greater in karst areas than in non-karst areas. Weather and seasonal conditions can cause spikes and dips in radon levels. Short-term tests often show that houses have higher radon levels in colder months (November through February). However, there are houses that do test higher in …
