Abstract

The tectonic control on the formation of surface and underground karst landforms is described in the literature mostly as an influence of the tectonic structures (anticlines, synclines, faults, fractures) and (or) vertical crustal movements as a precondition to the development of leveled karst. A review of the published works, discussing the tectonic preconditions of karstification, reveals the new qualitative view on the relationships between the geodynamical processes and karst evolution, as well as the importance of the modern quantitative approaches for deeper understanding of these relations. The experience from karst regions in different countries demonstrates that karst systems might be a good marker for arranging in the time the reconstructed tectonic stress fields, in particular for recognition of the Neotectonic and Quaternary stress fields, and vice versa, the reconstructed and recognized as young stress fields can help the forecasting of the preferential directions of the karst galleries formation and the related dominant flow of the karst waters.
