Abstract:
The grain size distribution, the lime- and Ca2+-ion content of the covering deposit of the Tes-plateau has been studied at different distances from the karst depression, at 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 cm depths. There is no lime in the upper 1m layer, but the lime content exceeds 30% below. The grain size increases as we get deeper in the sediment. The higher concentration of the small-grain fraction on the surface indicates the formation of an impermeable layer which causes the precipitation to drain on the surface. This helps the development of covered karst forms where karstification is possible |
