Abstract

Selected examples of karst features and landscapes are discussed, demonstrating the karst landforms origin and development of the mountainous backbone of Israel. These range across various scales, from mega-landscape features, such as polje and epigenic karstEpigenic karst basin, through rounded hills, cavesCave, and dolines, to rock-pillar karren, mostly under fluviokarstFluviokarst conditions. Considering the varied features, it is deduced that karst dissolution has played a major role in landscape development since the late Eocene regression.
