Like the whole of the Classical Karst of Slovenia, the area investigated lies on the Adriatic sub-plate, a part of the African macroplate. The contact with the European continent lies about 80km to the north. During the last 2 Ma, changes in the motion of the Adriatic sub - plate have led to the establishment of several dextral strike - slip faults of Dinaric trend (i.e. southeast to northwest direction). As a reflection of its 12 km displacement and ongoing neotectonic activity, the Idria Fault is usually considered the...

As an example we will give the main principles of adaptation of geological criteria for a karst hazard assessment in the territory of Kungur city—the classical area of development of a sulfate-carbonate karst in the Western Urals. 

Under visual comparison of distribution of lineament linear density zones and units of an intensive karst occurrence the connection of the latter to zones of lineament linear density zones in the range of their average values can be clearly traced. This situation is confirmed by experience of an assessment of a spatial ratio of disjunctive dissociation to karstification within various regions of classical development of both sulphatic, and carbonate karst.
