Karst landscape is a type of landform that includes features such as caves, sinkholes, and underground drainage systems. It forms in regions where the rock can be dissolved by water, such as limestone. The surface may have uneven ground, holes, and hidden openings. Water often flows below the surface instead of in rivers.

Karst landscapes are found in parts of the world such as China, Europe, and the United States. They develop over long periods through natural processes. These areas can include both surface features and underground spaces.

Karst landscapes support ecosystems above and below ground. Plants and animals live on the surface and inside caves. Some areas are used by people for farming, water sources, or settlement. These landscapes are part of Earth’s varied landforms.
