    1. Introduction Karst limestone is the technical term for a highly distinctive form of weathered limestone dominated by rounded conelike hills or steep or vertical sided ‘towers’. Although fengling (cone) and fengcong (tower) karst are different in appearance‚ they are sequential stages of a long process of formation. Fengcong towers developed from fengling cones that were steepened by water table undercutting (Pelling‚ 2008:50). This assignment will pay attention to the following aspects on the

    Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). There are various types of limestone‚ as well as different methods for formation. When limestone is formed through precipitation of water‚ it is called chemical limestone. When limestone is formed from the shells or skeletons of dead marine organisms‚ it is called organic limestone. Limestone is soluble‚ so it is very common in Karst landscapes. Limestone has many uses‚ but it’s most common use is as a building material for architectural

    Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Many limestones are composed from skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral or foraminifera. Limestone makes up about 10% of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks. The solubility of limestone in water and weak acid solutions leads to karst landscapes‚ in which water erodes the limestone over thousands to millions of years. Most cave systems are through limestone bedrock. Limestone has numerous uses‚ including
