“…The dam was built in the 1960s, and ponding upstream of the dam increased the hydraulic head on the buried karst, which likely provided sufficient stress to begin washing some of the sediment out of the till-filled karst conduits in the carbonate rock ( Fig. 10E), which has been documented elsewhere (e.g., Milanović, 2005;Upchurch et al, 2013;Veress, 2016). The extremely rainy summer of 2015 caused persistent flooding that flushed sediment from the buried karst conduit and formed the sinking stream, which eventually swallowed the stream.…”

“…In comparison, buried karst (Bosák et al, 1989;Zötl, 1989) is present in northern Indiana, where the open pores and conduits in the surface of the pre-existing carbonate rocks were covered and filled with glacial sediment during the Last Glacial Maximum. Buried karst features, plugged with low-permeability glacial till, may act as a barrier to downward vertical flow (Veress, 2016). However, there is no guarantee that these features will remain plugged (Armstrong and Osborne, 2003); Ford (1995) presents several scenarios through which descending water and ascending water can exhume and re-activate karst conduits.…”

In this article, the surface karstification of the Bakony Region is described. For this reason, VES measurements were applied to study the cover and the morphology of the bedrock. A karstmorphological mapping was also performed. With the classification of superficial deposits, karst types were differentiated. A relation was established between the karst types and block types in the mountains. The karstification of the mountains was affected by the block structure of the mountains, the mounds of the uneven bedrock, the presence of superficial deposits and their young (also currently ongoing) denudation. As a result of their individual or simultaneous effect, the karst of the mountains is varied. Soil-covered karst, concealed karst, cryptokarst, mixed autogenic-allogenic karst and allogenic karst occur in the mountains. Soil-covered karst is widespread in the mountains, but the specific features of this type (solution dolines) only occur on the threshold surfaces at the margin of the mountains and on dolomite. The concealed karst was mainly formed on horsts elevated to summit position, but it can also be found on threshold surfaces and on horsts in summit position. Its features are subsidence dolines and depressions of superficial deposit. Burried karst can be created by gravelly cover concerning cryptokarst basalt. The former is characteristic of cryptopeneplains, while the latter is specific of peneplain with basalt caps thus, of Kab Mountain. If the cover is gravel, the water of gravelly terrains seeps into the karst in epigenetic valleys, mainly in their antecedent sections (these are the gorges of the mountains). Phreatic cavity formation takes place at the impermeable intercalations at these sites. The phreatic cavities open up primarily by fluvial erosion. If the cover is basalt, ponors develop at its margin (allogenic karst), while inside, where the basalt thins out, caprock dolines are formed (cryptokarst).

“…5). Processes of this kind were described comprehensively by Ginés et al (2009;see Veress et al, 2013see Veress et al, , 2014Veress, 2016 for additional references). These geomorphological features are manifestations of structures controlled by joints and layering in the rocks.…”

Aesthetics-based classification of geological structures in outcrops for geotourism purposes: a tentative proposal

et al. 2017

The current growth in geotourism requires an urgent development of classifications of geological features on the basis of criteria that are relevant to tourist perceptions. It appears that structure-related patterns are especially attractive for geotourists. Consideration of the main criteria by which tourists judge beauty and observations made in the geodiversity hotspot of the Western Caucasus allow us to propose a tentative aesthetics-based classification of geological structures in outcrops, with two classes and four subclasses. It is possible to distinguish between regular and quasi-regular patterns (i.e., striped and lined and contorted patterns) and irregular and complex patterns (paysage and sculptured patterns). Typical examples of each case are found both in the study area and on a global scale. The application of the proposed classification permits to emphasise features of interest to a broad range of tourists. Aesthetics-based (i.e., non-geological) classifications are necessary to take into account visions and attitudes of visitors.
