The Wyżyna Krakowsko-Częstochowska is a unique geological formation characterized by its limestone landscape and karst features. This area is renowned for its deep valleys, limestone rocks, and extensive cave systems, making it a significant subject in Geografia klasa 5 Wyżyny Test. The landscape has been shaped by the process of karstification, where limestone is dissolved by rainwater containing carbon dioxide. Notable features include underground rivers, springs called resurgences, and distinctive cave formations such as stalactites and stalagmites.
