Physical Geology
Dissolution is the process by which solid materials dissolve in a solvent, usually water, resulting in the formation of a solution. This process plays a significant role in both physical and chemical weathering, as well as in the development of unique landforms associated with karst environments. The dissolution of minerals, particularly carbonates like limestone, contributes to shaping the landscape and affects various geological processes.
