Answer:

karst topography

Step-by-step explanation:

Karst topography structures in areas of abundant rainfall where bedrock consists of carbonate rocks such as gypsum, limestone, or dolomite, that easily dissolves in water. Karst topography creates sinkholes in the surface of the land, caverns, caves, and underground rivers.
