Often found in areas with massive limestone deposits, Ozark RegionStalactite – hang like icicles.These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Stalagmite – form when water hits floor. If they connect they’re called columnsSinkholes – Rounded depressions that form from dissolution of surface carbonate rock. Result from the collapse of the roof of a surface cavern. Wide size range. Underground Streams – surface runoff that is channeled on karst regions surface drainage is missing; instead water seeps downward along joints. Hydrothermal Features – Activity: hot water that comes to the surface. Hot Springs – and their associated deposits – Water heated by magma. Forced upward from pressure resulting from heating. AlgaeMineral deposits and limestone terraces. Deposits downslope from hot springs. On flat land get concentric rings of mineral deposits. On sloping land get travertine
