Whats the difference between caves and caverns?
Caves and caverns are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference. Caves are natural underground spaces large enough for humans to enter, formed by various geological processes like erosion and dissolution. Caverns, on the other hand, specifically refer to larger, more complex types of caves that often feature intricate formations such as stalactites and stalagmites, typically created by the dripping of mineral-rich water. In essence, all caverns are caves, but not all caves qualify as caverns.
