This paper deals with the development features, mineralization and develo-pment regularities of karst caves in diwas, compares the karst caves in threetectonic units--geosynclines, platforms and diwas, and reveals the inner relationbetween cave development and tectonics. The cave development in diwas involves five cave-forming phases. This paperdiscusses the features of cave corrosion and deposition as well as the features andclassification of mineral deposits. From the features of crustal movements, paleo-morphological evolution, lithological conditions and paleohydrological and paleocli-matic migration, the paper discusses the imbalance of temporal-spatial develo-pment of caves in diwas. Finally the paper points out the actual significance ofthe cave study in diwas for science and production.
