PPT-Caverns, Sinkholes and Karst

groundwater the water that is beneath Earths surface porosity the percentage of the total volume of a rock or sediment that consists of open spaces permeability the ability of a rock or sediment to let fluids pass through its open spaces or pores. Monica . Mustain. From groundwater encyclopedia: “. Refers to lands primarily underlain by limestone and dolomite where surface water is integrally connected to the ground water system from preferential flow routes.”. Living with sinkholes. Cathy Pappas-. Maenz. Department of Geology. Dawson College. What is a sinkhole?. A hole in the ground which is not connected to surface drainage.. Sinkholes are typically found in a landscape referred to as “Karst Topography”. By: Jewel Miller. What are sinkholes?. Sinkholes are depressions or holes in the land surface that occur throughout west-central Florida. They can be shallow or deep, small or large, but all are a result of the dissolving of the underlying limestone. 14. Compare and contrast ordinary wells and artesian wells.. What is porosity?. What is permeability?. Today, we will describe how water chemically weathers rock.. Chemical Weathering. As groundwater passes through permeable rock, minerals in the rock dissolve.. Weathering . Students will be able to describe and give examples of chemical and physical weathering.. . Weathering. The breakdown of materials on Earth’s crust into smaller pieces.. Two Types of Weathering. Chemical Weathering. Jade,McKaylin,Atavia,Hayley. Key terms . Cavern. A large cave that may consist of many smaller connecting chambers.. Sinkhole. a circular depression that forms at the surface when rock dissolves, sediment is removed or when caves or mines collapse. . By: Robert J Kelley. Karst review. Karst- mostly limestone/. dolostone. Well cemented grains. Conduit dominated. Features: caves (wet/dry) . springs, sinkholes. Tracing- an Overview. The art of tracking. Nate Green and Jacob Hartle. Forest and Natural Resource Management 3262 . Introduction. Karst Topography is an important landscape to understand due to the amount of destruction it can cause to our infrastructure. . Created By: Marcous Phillips. What is a . sinkhole. A sinkhole is a depression in the ground that has no natural external surface drainage. .. Water drains to the subsurface. Causes of sinkholes. Underneath soil/rock is dissolved by groundwater flowing through the material.. Karst. ?. The . land has different sized blocks of limestone which create fractures in the rock. . These . fractures are where the water seeps in, dissolves the rock, and forms caves.. Different Types of . Living with sinkholes. Cathy Pappas-. Maenz. Department of Geology. Dawson College. What is a sinkhole?. A hole in the ground which is not connected to surface drainage.. Sinkholes are typically found in a landscape referred to as “Karst Topography”. John “Sam” Morter.

Fall . 2017. Central Premise. Karst is defined as a self-organizing aquifer. Interaction and feedback between soluble matrix and solvent flow. In carbonate aquifers, the self-organization can occur without biota.
