A bowl-shaped depression that develops in limestone regions. A type of karst depression. Its origins include erosion by rainfall, or the expansion of underground limestone caverns causing the ground surface to collapse. Its plan is circular or elliptical, and its diameter varies from around 1 meter to over 100 meters. Clay-based terra rossa (red soil) develops at the bottom of the doline, and in some places it has become cultivated land. When a doline develops, it becomes an uvalle.

石灰岩地域に発達するすり鉢状の窪地(くぼち)。カルスト凹(おう)地形の一種。成因には、降雨による溶食の場合、地下の鍾乳洞(しょうにゅうどう)の拡大により地表が陥没してできる場合などがある。平面は円形または楕円(だえん)形、直径は1メートル前後から100メートル以上に及ぶものまでさまざまである。ドリーネの底には粘土質のテラロッサ(赤色土壌)が発達し耕地となっているところもある。ドリーネが発達するとウバーレになる。 [三井嘉都夫] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
