A review on natural and human-induced geohazards and impacts in karst
Karst environments are characterized by distinctive landforms related to dissolution and a
dominant subsurface drainage. The direct connection between the surface and the …

An updated global review of solutional weathering processes and forms in quartz sandstones and quartzites
RAL Wray, F Sauro - Earth-Science Reviews, 2017 - Elsevier
Quartz is considered one of the less soluble minerals of the Earth's crust, and thus hardly
affected by chemical weathering. Despite this, for more than forty years, it is clear that the …

Underground erosion and sand removal from a sandstone tableland, Stołowe Mountains, SW Poland
Abstract Models of geomorphic evolution of tablelands vary as far as the patterns of cliff line
degradation and hence, scarp retreat are concerned. Among surface processes rock slope …

Physiography of the caves
SE Lauritzen - Cave ecology, 2018 - Springer
Solutional (karst) and lava caves are the most extensive and frequent. Karst caves occur in
carbonates, sulphates and halite; large lava tubes form in basalt.“Pseudokarst” caves …
