Karst geologic structures (limestone and sandstone layers) make the surface overlying them, too unstable for most human applications (tall buildings, urban development, major highways, bridges, etc.). Husbanding of grazing animals (horses, cows, sheep, etc) is compatible with this landscape.
Sink holes, underground and disappearing streams, limestone, sandstone, and caves with their inevitable sink holes are typical of the Karst topographies.
Geology is crucial to the world - both environmentally, socially, spritually and economically.
The water surface is called the Piezometric Surface - though I invite clarification as I believe this has a definite meaning within hydrology and geology. The water-bearing formation is the Aquifer or Saturation Zone generally, the Phreas in karst hydrology/geology.

most regions do not have limestone under the soil Most regions have rock layers other than limestone

Some of the most important rock types in geology are Igneous Rock & Metamorphic Rock.

A karst specialist is a geologist who is expertized in Karst Geomorphology. This type of scientists study the conditions and the procedures that lead to the formation of karst in limestone rocks.
