Caves can be formed by water erosion, chemical erosion or volcanic tubes made by volcanoes. Water erosion happens when water pressure forces the cave such as rivers or stream pushing on weaker rock. Chemical erosion is acids formed by acid rain or acids of decaying matter dissolving limestone.

What process creates cave?
Caves form when acidic rain dissolved limestone.
When the rock above a cave collapses what does it form?
When the rock above a cave collapses, it can form a sinkhole if the collapse creates a depression in the ground. This can sometimes lead to the formation of a sinkhole cave system underground.
How does limestone help the caves?
Limestone doesn't exactly "help" a cave unless the stalagmite's and such are what you are looking for. Limestone is what creates those.
What does she make in the cave to help her pass in time?
In the story "She Makes a Fire," the protagonist makes a fire in the cave to help pass the time. She tends to the fire, watches the flames dance, and listens to the crackling sound it creates, which helps her feel comforted and connected to the world outside the cave.
How did Odysseus prove to be clever in the land of the cyclops?
He creates a plan in which he and all of his men hide under on of the Cyclop's rams and that allows them all to escape out of his cave unnoticed.
How was Harrison's cave formed?
Harrison's Cave in Barbados was formed over thousands of years through the process of water erosion and chemical weathering. Rainwater mixed with carbon dioxide creates a weak carbonic acid that dissolves the limestone rock, creating underground cavities and passageways. As the water flows, it deposits minerals, forming the unique stalactites and stalagmites that can be seen in the cave today.
Which formation in a cave rise from the floor stalagmites or stalactites?
stalagmites are on the cave floor, stalactites are on the cave roof. stalagmites are mighty like Hercules, they hold the ceiling up. +++ An easy mnemonic: "c for ceiling, g for ground". Another is "Stalagmites might reach the roof [and sometimes do, forming a 'column'] and stalactites hang on tight."
How does the floor of a limestone cave form?
I'm not really sure what you had in mind. Given that the cave is in limestone (as the vast majority of them are) there has to be a dimensional limit to the dissolution and erosion processes. The floor is there by default: it is the lowest surface along a passage at that given time in the cave's development.
What is a large hole form when a cave collapse?
A large hole formed when a cave collapses is known as a sinkhole. Sinkholes typically occur in areas with limestone bedrock, where the dissolution of rock by water creates underground voids. When the roof of the cave becomes too weak to support the weight above, it collapses, resulting in a depression or hole on the surface. These formations can vary in size and can pose hazards to structures and the environment.
What are cave entrances called?
Cave entrances are typically called cave mouths, cave openings, or cave portals.
if you don't now where it is the cave?
Where the cave is answer question cave. This is answer to question which is clearly written out. Cave is where don't know cave.
What is the mouth of a cave?
