Lava tubs form as a result of pahoehoe lava flows. As one of these flows progresses, it builds of a layer of rock on top of it. eventually, thus becomes thick enough to support is own weight, and forms an insulating tube through which lava can flow.
Lava flowing out from beneath a solidified crust on a lava flow.
by lava melting the rock forming a under ground path.
this is formed from hot flowing lava.what happens is the outer layer lava cools and hardenswhile the hot lava inside continues to flow
Lava tubes are formed when lava cools on the outside of a flow, creating a crust, and the inside of the flow continues to move forward. The crust is left behind as the lava drains away.
Yes, inactive volcanos will have lava tubes that are just like caves, they are the paths molten lava took to get to the surface.
Basaltic, low viscosity lava would form lava tube caves.
The most famous spot for lava tubes on Earth is Hawai'i. Because of the geography, the Lava Tubes on Big Island are the biggest in the World. Kazumura Cave is 61.407 m long and has a height difference of 1102 m from end to end.
The only caves that can form dry are; Rock-shelters eroded out by wind-blown sand. Talus Caves: voids between landslipped boulders and their parentrock-face. Mass-movement fissures: formed by a type of landslip. Lava Tubes - rather stretching the point because they result from molten lava flowing out from beneath a solidified crust. Caves formed in limestone - as most caves are - arekarst features, i.e. result from dissolution of the rock by weakly-acidic ground-water. Although such caves can subsequently lose their formative streams and so become dry, they were not formed dry and do not develop any further.
That's extremely variable and specific to each cave, but you have to think in tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

Yes, there are various types of caves, including limestone caves, lava tubes, sea caves, ice caves, and solution caves. Each type of cave is formed through different geological processes and conditions, resulting in unique characteristics and features.
All except lava-tubes, which result from lava draining from under the solidified crust of a lava flow. Most are in limestone, soluble in water acidified by carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere (chemical weathering).
butter........juicy buttery butter........yummy bacon and eggs and opps forgot the best part baby sausage weinie things! HAHA no its formed at your mamas house lol! stupid i no but just laugh.....
Still-molten lava running out from below the solidified crust of a large lava flow.
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.

None.In USA? Caves can only form in limestone, with a few exceptions such as lava tubes, so does every Americanstate contain karst landscapes then?
The main types of caves are solution caves, lava caves, sea caves, glacier caves, and talus caves. Solution caves form from the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone; lava caves are created by flowing lava; sea caves are carved by the action of waves on coastal cliffs; glacier caves form within glaciers due to melting and refreezing processes; and talus caves are formed by fallen rocks creating cave-like structures.

Caves are formed through various geological processes. The most common type of cave is a solution cave, which forms when water containing carbon dioxide dissolves limestone or other soluble rocks over a long period of time. Other types of caves include lava tubes, which form when molten lava creates tunnels, and sea caves, which are formed by the erosive action of waves on coastal cliffs.
