Abstract

The background of the conditions causing the formation of corallite crusts, constituted by the fine-fibrous spherulites, is considered. The corallite crusts are the specific form of karstic relief forming in cold climate in an area of perennial cryotic rocks distribution. The scientific interpretation of corallite crusts condensation genesis, being practically absent in scientific literature, is given.
