This paper analyzes the formation and karst development process of early paleozoic carbonate rocks in the southern margin of North China platform from the aspects of regional stratigraphy distribution, crustal movement and evolution and groundwater recharge and drainage conditions. It is concluded that the karst in the study area is multi-level developed and affected by lithology. Under the control of tectonic movement and groundwater flow, there are three main types of karst development models: bedding karst, water erosive karst, fault zone karst and erosive mining karst.
