Limestone: Features

Limestone forms diverse landscapes, from plateaus to mountain pinnacles. It is a sedimentary rock formed underwater, influenced by water even above sea level. Limestone is permeable, soluble, and reactive to acid, leading to unique features like limestone pavements and sinkholes. Water erosion creates narrow valleys and gorges, while underground streams form stalactites and stalagmites in caves. These caves vary in size, some large enough for exploration and stunts.
