Which condition best favours tower karst development?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Strong solution in a warm humid climate leaving steep residual limestone towers
Tower karst develops most strongly where thick, soluble limestone is exposed to abundant warm, humid groundwater. Chemical solution enlarges joints and depressions, while more resistant or less-dissolved blocks remain as steep, isolated residual towers. Option A correctly describes both the climatic setting and the resulting landform. Glaciers, tidal sand bars, and river levees are produced by different agents and do not define tower karst.
