Eighty-one karst types and their main characteristics are described in this study, including the conditions of their development, the main characteristics of their karstification and their characteristic features. The classification includes the karst types of the Earth, a concise description of each karst type and the possibilities of belonging to several types of various karst areas. The classification of types is hierarchical in terms of groups, subgroups, types and subtypes. Karst can be classified according to their momentary state (the group of static karst types) and to their development (group of dynamic karst types). The group of static karst types has the azonal and zonal subgroups. zonal karst types may be situated under any climate. These karst types are categorized according to their geological characteristics (age of karstification, constituting rock, extent of coveredness, structure), their elevation, expansion, the morphology of their surface, hydrology and to the effects occurring on the karst. Taking the above mentioned factors into consideration, the author distinguishes various types and describes their characteristics. Zonal karst types are also described (tundra karst, temperate karst, subtropical karst, tropical karst), karst types that can be distinguished based on their geomorphic evolution are identified and their characteristics are presented.

岩溶类型及其喀斯特化

本研究描述了八十一种喀斯特类型及其主要特征，包括它们的发育条件，其岩溶作用的主要特征及其特征。分类包括地球的喀斯特类型，每种喀斯特类型的简要描述以及属于各种喀斯特地区的几种类型的可能性。类型的分类在组，子组，类型和子类型方面是分层的。喀斯特可以根据其瞬时状态（静态喀斯特类型的组）和其发育（动态喀斯特类型的组）进行分类。静态岩溶类型的组具有纬向和纬向子组。带状喀斯特地貌类型可以处于任何气候下。这些喀斯特类型根据其地质特征（岩溶时代，组成岩石，覆盖程度，结构），海拔，膨胀，表面形态，水文学以及对岩溶的影响。考虑到上述因素，作者区分了各种类型并描述了它们的特征。还介绍了区域岩溶类型（寒带岩溶，温带岩溶，亚热带岩溶，热带岩溶），确定了可以根据其地貌演化加以区分的岩溶类型，并介绍了它们的特征。
