4.7.5 Solution Flutes

Solution flutes form on the steeper slopes where water flows through the flutes to cause dissolution. These longitudinal hollows run in sets with sharp ribs between. On long surfaces, the ribs between two or three flutes can die out to form solution runnels. Solution flutes usually form on bare karst.
