Karst landforms mostly develop in which rock area?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Limestone
The governing concept is the solubility of bedrock and the action of groundwater. Limestone contains calcium carbonate, which can dissolve when rainwater absorbs carbon dioxide and becomes mildly acidic. Underground channels, caves, sinkholes, and other karst features consequently develop in limestone areas. Thus option B is correct. Granite, coal, and volcanic glass do not normally provide the same extensive soluble rock environment.
