Re: Hardship Allowance and Risk Levels. Â« Reply #1 on: September 09, 2011, 08:02:51 Â». There is large survey that is filled out for each location. Points are allocated and depending on the number of points the level is determined. The ones I got to complete when I was deployed to a remote location was hard copy.
The karst hills of The Burren on the west coast of Ireland. El Torcal de Antequera, Andalusia, Spain. Karst topography is a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum.It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes, dolines, and caves. It has also been documented for weathering-resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions.he karst hills of The Burren on the west coast of Ireland.

Throughout the world karst landscapes vary from rolling hills dotted with sinkholes, as found in portions of the central United States, to jagged hills and pinnacle karst found in the tropics. The development of all karst landforms requires the presence of rock which is capable of being dissolved by surface water or ground water. The term karst describes a distinctive topography that indicates dissolution (also called chemical solution) of underlying soluble rocks by surface water or ground water. Although commonly associated with carbonate rocks (limestone and dolomite) other highly soluble rocks such as evaporates (gypsum and rock salt) can be sculpted into karst terrain.
