Which conditions promote karst development? Check all that apply.dry climategood groundwater circulationhard rocks near Earth’s surfacemoderate to heavy rainfallpoor groundwater circulationsoft rocks near Earth’s surface

Answer
A
dry climate
B
good groundwater circulation
C
hard rocks near Earth’s surface
D
moderate to heavy rainfall
E
poor groundwater circulation
F
soft rocks near Earth’s surface

Explanation

Karst develops when groundwater can dissolve rock and carry the dissolved material away. Good groundwater circulation and moderate to heavy rainfall provide moving, plentiful water; soft, soluble rocks near Earth’s surface are easier for that water to dissolve. Dry conditions, poor circulation, and hard rocks are less favorable.
