With respect to the Karst topography, consider the following statements:

It is well developed in limestone and chalk landforms.

It is mainly developed when the water table is relatively high.

Borra Caves in Uttar Pradesh is its example.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

Question

Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves.
Karst is most strongly developed in dense carbonate rock, such as limestone, that is thinly bedded and highly fractured.
Karst is not typically well developed in chalk, because chalk is highly porous.
Karst is most strongly developed where the water table is relatively low.
Karsts are found in Causses of France; the Kwangsi area of China; the Yucatán Peninsula; and the Middle West, Kentucky, and Florida in the United States.
In India karst topography is present in the Vindhya region (mainly southwestern Bihar), the Himalayas (parts of Jammu & Kashmir, Robert Cave, Sahasradhara, the eastern Himalayas, areas near Dehradun), Pachmarhi in Madhya Pradesh, Gupt Godavari Cave in Chitrakoot (U.P.), the surrounding coast near Vishakhapatnam (Borra Caves), and Bastar in Chhattisgarh.
