What else can I help you with?
Why do caves form and which conditions control the forming of caves?
yea i mean totally dude
Are limestone in caves?
Other way round! Water and/or air are in caves.:-) Most of the world's caves have formed / are forming in limestone.
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.
How are limestone caves different to other caves?
Primarily in their mode of formation: dissolution of limestone by water acidified by atmospheric CO2 (forming carbonic acid).
How were waitomo caves formed?
The Waitomo Caves in New Zealand were formed over millions of years through a combination of underground water flow and the dissolving of limestone rock. As acidic water trickled through the limestone, it created a network of underground tunnels and caverns, eventually forming the intricate caves and spectacular stalactites and stalagmites that we see today.
What types of caves are in the plateau?
Too vague a question. WHICH plateau? There are any number of plateaux around the world! If it's a limestone plateau then any caves in it will be karst caves - though there may also be mass-movement caves (a type of landslip feature) behind cliffs or very steep slopes forming the plateau edge.
What type of rock is usually present in area with a lot of caves?
Limestone is the most common type of rock present in areas with a lot of caves. This is because limestone is easily dissolved by acidic groundwater, forming caves through a process known as karstification.
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.
Which type of lave is better for forming lava tube caves?
"Basic", or low-silica, basalt lava, as its viscosity is relatively low.
How do acids in groundwater cause chemical weathering?
It causes chemical weathering because when it touches rocks, the rocks dissolve, forming caves.
What is formed by the erosion of soft rock by flowing groundwater?
caves
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.
