Hello.

Can anyone please help check if this sentence is grammatically correct?

Karst landscape commonly develops in areas underlain by highly soluble carbonate rocks that have been greatly exposed to the full suite of natural processes including tectonic, geomorphologic, hydrogeologic and climatic events which have been occurring over long periods of time.

I'm not a native English speaker and the sentence above sounds grammatically off to me. Any suggestion/correction would be appreciated.

Thank you!
