So any surface karstification now seen dates from approximately 10, 000 years ago and The Burren karst is thus very recent in geological terms.

This is referred to as hypogenic karstification . From time to time, overlying rock collapsed into hollow chambers below, creating deep shafts.
19.
Most of the sedimentary rock has extensive karstification that happened over millions of years creating several underground systems like : subterranean rivers, caves, and aquifers.

Karstification of the Keserouane limestone was further intensified by the steep topography of the area and the volume of precipitation over the Lebanon ( more than 1200mm ).
