- In Borneo, rain has sculptured the limestone into extremely sharp-sided pinnacles.
在婆罗洲 雨水已将石灰岩 雕凿成无比尖削的石塔
- But the dissolving power of rainwater has other, much more dramatic effects underground.
不过在地下 雨水的溶解作用 还能产生其它更壮观的效果
- Rivers that flow over limestone often seem to completely disappear.
流经石灰岩的河川 到最后似乎总是无影无踪
- When the water reaches the more resistant bed of limestone
当水流遇到更坚硬的石灰岩床时
- its course is altered.
就会改变路线
- Once underground,
一旦进入地下
- the water takes on a new, more erosive power.
水便有了一股新的、更强的侵蚀力
