| description | We studied karst forms in the Bolivian Highland.
There are clints (or lapies, karrens, see photos 1, 2 and
3), dolines (photos 4, 5 and 8), caverns and karst
Springs (photo 7), but no poljes and conical karst.
They can be formed in spite of extreme climatic
conditions, namely low temperatures in altitudes of up
to 4600 m and sometimes only four humid months. In
respect to the petrography we note a relatively wide
ränge: limestone, calcareous sandstone, dolomite and
especially gypsum (photo 6) are intensely affected by
corrosion. All the dolines and clints found in the
Andes are mainly postglacial, but were preformed in
the Pleistocene. |
