  3. 7. tree that establishes itself in brackish water, extends the land, and inhibits storm erosion
  4. 10. cave formation formed when water dripping from a cave ceiling collects and forms a mound
  5. 13. Zone area below the water table where all pore space and interconnections are saturated with water
  6. 14. cave formation formed by the precipitation of calcite, extends down from the ceiling of a cave
  7. 15. Group rock formations composed of limestone, sandstone, and shale; associated with Mammoth Cave NP
  8. 16. formed when water runs over a cave wall and deposits material forming sheets or drapes

  4. 5. Escarpment exhumed barrier reef rock formation, originally developed on the perimeter of the Delaware Basin during the Permian
  5. 6. small spherical sedimentary formations formed by intense sunlight, evaporation, and precipitation of calcium carbonate around rock fragments
  6. 8. Stream water feature that initially flows on land and eventually underground
  7. 9. landscape primarily made up of limestone bedrock with features created due to dissolving of that bedrock by water
  8. 11. Reef Limestone reef limestone, prominently bedded silty soluble rock containing containing gypsum, associated with Carlsbad NP
  9. 12. asymmetrical solution hollows formed by turbulent water flow, typically one half inch to several feet in size
  10. 18. formed when underlying soluble rock dissolves away and the overlying terrain collapses, typically found in Karst landscape
