tower karst

Geology and Earth Sciences
  • A form of karstic morphology (see karst) that is developed mainly in low latitudes, characterized by residual hills of limestone rising from a flat plain. The hills have near-vertical sides, resembling towers.


Geography
  • Limestone towers, 30–200 m high, with nearly vertical walls and gently domed or serrated summits. The towers stand above large, flat flood plains and swamps and show undercutting from rivers and swamps. Tower karsts are thought to represent the last remnant of a limestone outcrop. See Zhu and Chen (2006) Cave & Karst Sci. 32, 2–3 on the tower karst (fenglin) in southern China.
