How was maquoketa caves formed?
The Maquoketa caves in Iowa were formed through years of natural non-glacial erosion.
Why do caves only form a certain type of rock?
Caves are formed by rainwater dissolving away limestone or sandstone.
Two most common types of rock in which sea caves form?
Ocean caves are formed from most commonly formed by calcium and magnesium, usually sedimentary rocks. They can also be made of granite.
Do tectonic plates make caves?
Caves are formed in many ways but mostly by chemical weathering of the surface rock. Tectonic plates on the other hand are huge slabs of rock that form the Earth's crust. Caves are not formed by tectonic plates, think of caves as tiny boreholes in the very surface of a tectonic plate. I agree
What are underwater caves?
Yes. Underwater caves do exist. Many formed when sea levels were lower than they are now and were flooded when sea levels rose.
What do these have in common - Naracoorte Yarrangobilly Jenolan Wombeyan?
They are sites of caves in Australia.
What do Naracoorte Yarrangobilly Jenolan and Wombeyan have in common?
They are sites of caves in Australia.
How are Erosional caves formed?
Erosional caves are formed by the action of water or wind.
How lime- stones caves formed?
Limestone caves are formed through a process called chemical weathering. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic, dissolves the limestone rock over time, creating small cracks. These cracks then widen as more water flows through, eventually forming caves. Additionally, some limestone caves are formed through the erosion of underground rivers.
Can caves be formed in areas of slate?
No. Most caves are formed out of limestone making that false.
How was caves formed?

How were the wooky caves formed?
Wookies live in trees, not caves.
How is limestone formed in caves?
Limestone is formed in caves through a process called cave formation or speleogenesis. This occurs when water containing dissolved minerals, like calcium carbonate, seeps through cracks in the rock and evaporates, leaving behind deposits of limestone. Over time, these deposits can accumulate to form intricate cave structures.

How caves were formed?
They - or it? - are normal karst caves, formed in limestone by its dissolution by water. I believe they still carry a stream: if so they are still forming.
