Sažetak
Croatian karst is part of the Dinaric karst area. It spreads over 23, 000 km2 witch is about 50% of national territory. In this area more then 10, 000 different caves were explored, mostly by Croatian amateur caving organizations and some of them by foreign cavers too. There are more than 50 caves longer than 1, 000 m and more than 50 caves deeper than 250 m. The longest is Lukina jama – Trojama system (1, 392 m) and the longest is Đulin ponor – Medvedica cave system (16, 396 m). Different geomorphological characteristics are in inner, middle and outer karst belt. Inner karst belt is mostly characterized as big karst plateau with low altitude and relative relief. Middle belt is mainly composed of karst poljes and hills between them. And in outer belt there are coastal mountains, coastal plateaus, cost and islands. This work deals with geomorphological conditions of speleogenesis and comparation of the geomorphological and speleomorphological characteristics in the sense of the process of karst development. In some examples it will be shown how surface karst development is connected with karst underground forms.
