EXEMPLOS BRASILEIROS DE CARSTE EM ARENITO: CHAPADA DOS GUIMARÃES (MT) E SERRA DE ITAQUERI (SP)

The issue of non-carbonate karst is still controversial in academic circles, there is
resistance from classical karst researchers. However, in many studies throughout the world,
the karst in non-carbonate rocks is a constant. Although their existence is controversial, this is
due to the small amount of research conducted in these rocks had not generated a sufficient
amount of information that would establish general comparison with the carbonate karst,
identifying boundaries and differences. In this article, we attempted to show some of the
evolution of the concept through the literature and present two examples of sandstone karst
in Brazil.
