Glaciers are not common in areas of karst topography. Karst landscapes are formed by dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, leading to unique landforms like sinkholes, caves, and underground rivers. Glaciers are typically found in regions with colder climates and higher elevations.
A landform not common in karst topography is typically a flat plain or plateau. Karst topography is known for its distinctive features such as sinkholes, caves, and disappearing streams, which are caused by the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone. Flat plains or plateaus are less likely to form in karst areas due to the erosional processes that create the unique karst features.

True. Karst topography is characterized by areas where soluble bedrock, such as limestone, is dissolved by groundwater, leading to the formation of sinkholes, caves, and other unique landscape features.
If the gaps caused by the water are near the surface, the ground at the surface may collapse. This causes a sickhole to form. An area of land that has lots of sinkholes is called a karst
This type of landscape is typically referred to as a karst landscape. Karst topography is characterized by limestone bedrock that has been eroded by water, leading to the formation of caves, sinkholes, and deep valleys.
