    The Geomorphology of Karst Caves in Ajloun Governorate
    Journal of the Faculties of Arts (2020)
    Mohammad GoqazehJordan Moe
    The study deals with the geomorphology of karst caves in Ajloun governorate, aiming to show the role of mineral composition in the extent of contribution to the origin and development of karst caves. Besides studying the morphological characteristics of karst caves in order to achieve the objectives of the study, this article is based on the descriptive and analytical approach to study and analyze the data of the phenomenon in question. Morphometric measurements of nine caves were done through fieldwork. The study concludes that the caves were formed only in Calcite and Dolomite rocks and that the caves vary in the region in terms of their shapes, dimensions, and lengths. The length of these caves ranged between 3.40 - 30 meters, the height of the ceilings between 1.72 - 9.10 meters. Finally, the study shows a clear difference in the morphometric characteristics of these caves, especially the shapes and dimentions. Keywords: Natural characteristics, Morphometric characteristics, Karst caves, Ajloun area.

    Recent sinkholes in an area of intensive karst development in northern Lithuania
    Geological Quarterly (2000)
    Salomeja BuceviciuteVidas Mikulėnas
    The karst of northern Lithuaniais developed in gypsiferous layers of the Pasvalys andNemunelis beds of the Tatula Formation of the Upper Devonian (Frasnian) stage. The new sinkholcs formed during the last ten years in around Biriai and Pasvalys indicatc recent karst activity. 84 rcccnt sinkholcs appeared around the villages of Karajimilkis, Mantagaililkis in the Biriai district from 1995 to 1999. The thrcc biggest sinkholes occur in Pasvalys. Karst proccsscs and phenomena are particularly dangerous in urban areas. The suddcn appearance of sinkholes and ground subsidence have oftcn caused building damage. New sinkholes indicate a vcry scnsitive engineering geological environment.
