Glaciokarst

[2] In the case of glaciokarst, the karst landscape has been shaped by the action of glaciers resulting in glacial erosion, deposition or other processes that directly impact the soluble rocks in the area.

As it acquires carbon dioxide, meltwater from these glaciers forms a weak acid that can dissolve these specific rocks, eventually leading to cave formation.

[3] The absence of valley discharge and the presence of indicators of glacial erosion hint at a pattern of vertical drainage of sub-glacial waters into the karst landscape.

[3] The outwash fans that filled some hollow areas displayed a change in the kind of sediment they contained, from rough near the ice margin to finer material further away.

[8] These classifications include distinctions regarding the presence of meltwater, the types of karstic rocks involved, proximity to the Equator, the relationship between glaciers and karst formations, the geographical location of the glaciokarsts, and the rate of glaciation.
