Question 4 1 / 1 pts What is this karst landform (N 37.94188 W 80.45261) and how did it form? Hint: this is the end of Culverson Creek. It is the lowest elevation along Culverson Creek! Really. You can check the elevations on Acme Mapper topo tab or Google Earth. Where does it go from this point? Correct! This blind valley formed because the water goes down into an underground cave system. This offset stream formed when a fault separated the upstream portion of the stream from its downstream segment. This interrupted stream formed because the water goes down a sinkhole into an underground water storage system built by the surrounding farms. This dead-end stream was built during the civil war as a trap for the union army. Blind valleys form when a stream goes underground... flowing through dissolved limestone often into an underground cave.
