Answer: Limestone
Explanation: A karst landscape represents sinking streams, sinking holes,caves, and springs. The most renowned karst area in the world is Kentucky . Karst area provide supply of water through springs and wells to thousands of household.
This type of landscape usually develops on limestone . It can also develop on various types of rocks, such as gypsum,dolomite and salt.
When the water comes down from hilltops towards the stream it goes below the surface through small cracks in the limestone bedrock, as a result the rock is slowly diffused away by weak acids present in rain and soil water.
