The diversity of surface features of karst types, as well as the causes of diversity change, are presented and discussed in this work. In the case of small, medium, and big features of various carbonate karsts, it was taken into account how variety varies with distance from the Equator, and how it varies with distance from height in the case of karren features (small features) of high mountain karsts. It can be demonstrated that the diversity of karst features diminishes with distance from the Equator (regardless of feature size), whereas the diversity of karren features increases with altitude and then decreases in high mountains. Moving farther from the Equator, the decrease in the diversity of medium and large features can be explained by a drop in dissolution intensity. The variation in karren characteristics is related to the variation in the inclination of the bearing slope. Since bare slopes with significant expansion and variable slope inclination exist on tropical karsts and in the middle elevated parts of high mountains (1600-2100 m), the diversity of karren is great. Slopes of varying inclination were generated by karstification in tropical karsts and glacial erosion in high mountains.
