Orthokarst is a type of karst topography characterized by well-developed, parallel-sided joints, which give the rock a blocky appearance. It is commonly found in areas with soluble rocks such as limestone or dolomite that have been subjected to extensive weathering and erosion processes. Orthokarst landscapes can include features like grikes, clints, and cave systems.
