Processes studied under hydrogeology, the atlas's discipline for groundwater held and moving within rock and soil. Includes Karstification, the dissolution of soluble rock such as limestone by groundwater that produces caves, sinkholes and other karst landforms over time. Belongs here: a process whose primary discipline is the movement or chemical action of water within rock and soil rather than on the surface. Does not belong here: a surface water process studied under hydrology (Hydrology), or a landform-shaping process with no groundwater mechanism (Geomorphology).
