Ellison's Cave was formed by a combination of erosion and weathering processes over millions of years. The cave system is located in the southern Appalachian Mountains and is known for its deep pits and vertical drops, which were created by underground streams and chemical reactions dissolving the limestone bedrock.
A cave entrance is commonly referred to as a cave mouth or cave opening.
When rock above a cave collapses, it forms a sinkhole. Sinkholes are depressions in the ground that are often caused by the erosion of underground caves or channels.
The main parts of a cave include the entrance, passage, chamber, and sometimes a sinkhole or dome. These parts can vary depending on the type of cave and how it was formed.
Ellison Cave was formed by the erosion of the rock by water over millions of years. The cave was created as groundwater seeped through the limestone bedrock, dissolving and creating intricate passageways underground. Over time, the cave continued to grow and develop into its current size and complexity.
Jewel Cave was formed by the erosion of limestone rock by slightly acidic rainwater over millions of years. The dissolution of the limestone created caverns and passageways, while mineral deposits formed distinctive cave formations like stalactites and stalagmites. Today, Jewel Cave is one of the longest caves in the world, with over 200 miles of explored passageways.

it is a 'karst' cave, i.e. formed by the action of water on limestone.
stalagmites
Stalactites. You may also notice distinct erosion patterns in many cave ceilings, formed when the passage was filled with water at an earleir stage in the cave's development.
fingals cave is a cave formed by the same geological processes as those at the giants causeway on the other side of the Irish sea. after a volcano erupted 60 million years ago, hexagonal basalt columns formed as the cave cooled. the cave which has been formed by the sea eroding it away is easy to access. it was discovered in 1772 by sir Joseph banks and a visit to the cave by the composer Felix Mendelssohn inspired him to write his 'Hebrides overture''. popularly known as ''fingal's cave''.+++Not quite: the columns formed as the rock cooled. The cave did not exist until long after the island formed, and was then, as you say, cut by erosion. The volcanism was associated with the inception of the Atlantic Ocean.
