Ring of Cenotes | Karst Geochemistry and Hydrogeology
The cenotes overlying the crater are deep (150+ m) vertical shafts with most (but not all) breaching the surface. The pit geomorphology suggests a bottomup formation. In horizontally bedded carbonate platforms, geothermal gradients will drive convective flow, with strong vertical components specifically in the platform center. In the Yuan Platform, a high occurrence of anhydrite and ...
