Such a cave is called "abandoned" or "fossil"; a stage reached when it loses itsr formative stream.
Either a series within the cave is abandoned when the stream cuts down to a lower level within the limestone; or the whole cave is abandoned when surface erosion removes or diverts the stream feeding the cave entirely.
Fossil caves local to me (on the South coast of England) have entrances some 100 to 200 feet above sea-level, in sea-cliffs, because the erosion here, influenced by sea-level changes in the present Ice Age,has both cut the coast back and totallyremoved the caves' original catchment area!

Why are some caves dry and dusty?
Caves can be dry and dusty if there is minimal water entering from the surface to create moisture. Dust in caves can accumulate over time from external sources like windblown sediment or deterioration of local rock formations within the cave. Lack of adequate ventilation can also contribute to dust build-up in caves.
What environmental process forms the dry caves?
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.

What cuvses caves caverns and sink holes?
Caves, caverns, and sinkholes are typically formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, or gypsum by water. Over time, water erodes and dissolves the rock, creating underground cavities and passages. Eventually, these cavities can collapse or become exposed at the surface, forming caves, caverns, and sinkholes.
