The Dynamics of Tectonic Modelling of Some Caves in the Karst Region (Croatia)

Abstract
Deformational processes resulted in the formation of certain caves in the carbonate rocks of the karst area are analysed. Some of the caves were formed by deformational processes connected to extension of the area, while others were formed by processes that followed compression during structural formation of the Dinarides. In the first case, the caves were infilled by calcite material and/or by debris from the surrounding rocks mixed with terra rossa. The second group is mostly represented by caves forming open spelaeological objects.
