All Karst and Weathering Landforms

This group collects the Landform Concepts subcategory's members that name and define landforms produced by rock dissolution and surface weathering rather than by ice, water flow or wind transport: mogotes, makhteshim, tafoni, panholes and the pitted, honeycombed and fractured rock surfaces that weathering carves directly into bedrock. These are the subcategory's chemical- and physical-weathering vocabulary, smaller in count than the erosive-transport groups but distinct in the process each term describes.
