Summary[edit]

Description
English: Karstwannen (German) should be destinguished from sinkholes and poljes, structural basins or plains. These kind of closed depressions rather resemble an "uvala".
Swabian Jura has Karstwannen up to 4 to 2,5km in size with up to 100 Dolines (small sinkholes). Karstwannen developed in late Pliocene and Pleistocene, when karstification progressed. Most Karstwannen developed in the northern part of the Alb.
Deutsch: Karstwannen auf der Schwäbischen Alb.
Diese liegen v.a. nördlich der miozänen Klifflinie, weil im südlichen Teil erst noch tertiäre Flächen abgetragen werden mussten. Besonders auf der Ostalb finden sich Wannen mit Größen von bis zu 4x2,5km und zahlreichen Dolinen (bis 100). Karstwannen jeder Größe sind (hydro-)geologisch von Dolinen und Poljen / Ebenen / Becken zu unterscheiden. Ihre Strukturmerkmale auf der Schwäbischen Alb machen sie eher den "Uvalas" der "Dinarischen Alpen" ähnlich.
Gezeichnet basierend auf Daten von Gwinner, M., "Paläogeographie..." 1968. Bayer/Groschopf, Karstwannen...", 1989.
