Seafloor spreading is caused by diverging plates.

Seafloor spreading is a process in which tectonic plates (large irregularly shaped slabs of solid rock that is usually made up of both continental and oceanic lithosphere) move and separate apart from each other. Seafloor spreading is the result of mantle convection and it takes place at mid-ocean ridges, where there is formation of new oceanic crust through volcanic activity.

Which landform is not common in an area of karst topography?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

surface drainage systems

Explanation:

Karst is a kind of topography that is formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks (e.g. limestone, dolomite, and gypsum). It is composed by an underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves, so a stream cannot be formed in this kind of topography.

The solubility of limestone in water and weak acid solutions leads to karst landscapes. Flowing rivers, can be found in areas away from karst topography. Sinkhole is not associated with areas of Karst topography.

Karst topography may contain sinkholes or funnel-shaped holes in the surface of the land, caverns, caves, and underground rivers. Karst topography varies greatly, from steep jagged cliffs to soft rolling hills; from microscopic in size to hundreds of square miles. Karst regions are found all over Earth.
