Caves are typically formed in rock formations such as limestone, marble, or volcanic rock. The creation of caves is primarily influenced by water erosion, chemical weathering, and geological processes over millions of years. Inside caves, various mineral deposits and formations such as stalactites and stalagmites can be found.
No, not all caves are made of limestone. Caves can be formed in various types of rocks, including granite, sandstone, and volcanic lava flows. Limestone caves are common because limestone is soluble and can be eroded by water to create cave systems, but caves can also form in other types of rocks through different geological processes.
People lived in caves in the past for various reasons. Caves provided natural shelter from the elements, protection from predators, and were readily available in many environments. They also offered privacy and security for early human populations. Additionally, caves had a relatively constant temperature, which made them suitable for human habitation.
Cave men and women typically did not create the caves they lived in. These early humans often sought out natural caves for shelter and protection from the elements. They may have occasionally made some modifications to the caves for their needs, such as adding fire pits or simple tools.
Caves are natural underground formations while modern houses are man-made structures built above ground. Caves usually lack amenities like electricity and plumbing, while modern houses are equipped with these conveniences. Additionally, caves have irregular shapes and limited entry points, while modern houses are designed with functionality and comfort in mind.
There are several types of caves, including limestone caves (formed by the dissolving of limestone), lava tubes (formed from solidified lava flows), sea caves (formed by erosion from ocean waves), glacier caves (formed by melting ice within glaciers), and karst caves (formed in soluble rocks such as gypsum or dolomite). Each type of cave has unique characteristics based on its formation process.
"Where" or "were"? Either way... they aren't or weren't made in caves.
The vast majority of the world's caves are in limestone.
No, they are natural sea-caves and arches.
caves are made of rock
Hunter-gatherer societies lived in various regions around the world, including forests, grasslands, deserts, and coastal areas. They adapted to their environments by foraging for food, hunting animals, and gathering plants for sustenance. These societies were nomadic, moving to different locations in search of resources.
Karst caves, and it is the majority of caves; formed by acidic ground-water dissolving the limestone.
Geodes and caves are both hollow objects made of stone.

Caves caused by volcanic activity are made of basalt Caves caused by dissolution due to groundwater are formed in limestone or sometimes marble. Caves also form in glacial ice due to melting. (Glacial ice can technically be considered rock.)
