Formation of Karst Landscapes

Limestone is a hard, grey sedimentary rock largely composed of Calcium Carbonate. It was formed under the sea from the remains of organic matter such as seashells and plants.
This video explains the processes that formed limestone and the different types of features found in Karst landscapes such as caves, sink holes, and many more.
This video was filmed in China, Thailand and New Zealand.

This was great. I wanted to see something like this when I saw the landscape at Ninh Binh and Halong Bay in Vietnam. However, information on this topic is very spare. So thanks for making this 😊

[@pennyc8252]

Same here😂

[@Geographicvideos]

Thanks. I made most of it on a holiday in Guilin, China and had to go elsewhere to get the rest of the footage. It was certainly a fun video to make.

[@napoleonbonaparte4356]

Phenomenal video. Short, precise and contains all necessary information for me to locate a cave beneath the Atlantic so that I can return to France covertly as I am imprisoned on the island of Saint Helena. Regards, Napoleon.

[@omairshafiq1998]

Yo that actually happened?

[@arboristable]

Thank you. Your video was well done and explained my question of how karst landscapes form.

[@leznets91]

When you're looking for extremely specific information about rocks

[@cheez1903]

lmao

[@adr.lim.]

lol same i wondered how those mountains come to be so vertical and pointy

[@jeffvukovich902]

Very informative, and impressive you were able to take at the videos!

[@historiasdeaves]

You know that some bird species evolved in a karstic environments? Thank you for your video, It helped me to underestand de geologic context of some bird species !

[@Da7hom1]

I learned that in such karsts, there are even special kinds of langurs that partially live in this caves.

[@moonlightgator]

Thank you for excellent explanation.

[@cherriemaymurcia3336]

Woooowww!!! Those mountain in china were looked like Genshin Impact!!!! And caves too!! 😋😋😋

[@MiaogisTeas]

Great stuff Darron! Headed to Sichuan this year to check out some of these karsts and caves. Missed out on seeing the Punakaiki rocks due to a road closure last winter. Hope to see them when I'm back home next year 🙏

[@MyDeshmukh]

adequate research done by you ! thanks

[@KerinGedge]

Man those pools in China were beautiful!

[@Zhiivago]

Im from Bosnia and our mountains are made of calcium. It rains a lot here as well. I wonder how old our mountains are and where they are in the process? What is the end stage of karstification? Will everything just dissolve and become a plain?

[@महात्माआंधी]

Best explanation of karst

great description of karats!

[@varunkumar4009]

Good one, helpful. Thanks

[@user-tb2jy9lu3d]

Is The Strid in the UK considered a Karst landscape?

[@Geographicvideos]

I dont think so. Ive never been there before, but from what Ive read it is sandstone rather than limestone.

[@learnwithswati78]

Superb

[@paperpopper1290]

i know your doing a test so The development of tower karst requires a minimum of 1200mm (the dude says 120 centimetres) of precipitation per year and an average temperature of at least 18 degrees Celsius.

[@mexheix]

5:31 why is there no steep wall, and there is a stream on the surface?

[@Geographicvideos]

Just an optical illusion. When you are actually at that location, the hills surrounding the basin are actually steep. The place in question is called Lake Disappear in Waikato, New Zealand. teara.govt.nz/en/photograph/12409/lake-disappear#:~:text=This%20ephemeral%20lake%2C%20north%2Deast,fills%20with%20water%20(bottom).
