Subsidence sinkholes are diagnostic landforms of karst, which form in unconsolidated soils or drift deposits overlying cavernous limestone. |
Of the total 189 plots sampled, 56 were on floodplain landforms and 133 were on upland landforms. |
A wide variety of rock coatings is found on landforms at the Earth's surface. |
While these maps were seriously outdated and lacked most significant cultural features, the landforms had not changed so much. |
Preservation of these large-scale coastal landforms is primarily due to gentle epeirogenic uplift in response to Quaternary volcanism. |
A second category of landforms includes those that relate to the intense cryogenic weathering of exposed bedrock. |
