Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Well-developed karst is not dependent on arid conditions. However, the presence of a high proportion of calcium carbonate in the rock and joints in rock of otherwise low permeability are important factors in the development of karst. Vegetation may also play a role in karst development, as it can affect rates of chemical weathering and help to stabilize soil and rock.
