Calcite rather than limestone - the crystalline version of calcium carbonate which is limestone's primary constituent. However it is only being deposited in speleothems (stalactites and stalagmites).
.
Elsewhere in the cave, limestone is being removed, not deposited, by any stream(s) still flowing in the the system.
.
The limestone which holds the cave was deposited then uplifted into the highlands whose eroded forms you see now, long before the cave started to develop.
CALCITE - cryastaline calcium carbonate precipitated from the ground-water that had dissolved it from the limestone above the cave. Calcium Carbonate is the primary constituent of limestone.
Stalactites are found in limestone caves. They are the limestone formations hanging from the roof. Limestone is calcium carbonate salts. Stalagmites are the formations growing up to the roof. (One way to remember: Stalactites have to hold on tight or they will fall and stalagmites might reach the roof one day.)
Over 400 miles of passageways have been mapped and surveyed in Mammoth Cave National Park, making it the world's longest known cave system. Extensive exploration and mapping efforts have been ongoing to document the complex network of underground passages and chambers.
well they might. scientists have recently discovered a frozen wooly mammoth and are trying to copy its DNA to create a new mammoth. with our technology today anything is possible.
I assume you mean caves well decorated with stalagmites etc. They are in most limestone caving areas but if you want to visit them either take up caving properly - for both your safety and to learn to protect the caves you visit - or visit show-caves.
A wooly mammoth is 11ft tall and somtimes over this is for a fully grown Wooly Mammoth also people say the wooly mammoth is sometimes 15ft tall but that might be a rumor
the heat from a fire actually morphs the limestone into a different kind of rock
Not normally. They might shelter in the entrance - and this assumes there are any caves in the deer's area anyway!
In solidified tar, or frozen in ice.
From what I know, limestone is alkali, and high pH water would not weather alkali things. For the case of limestone, it might even make the limestone bigger (think so).
They might shelter in cave entrances - if there are any caves in cheetah country, of course! They are not cave-dwelling animals as such.
It might damage it by the erosion people walking over the limestone wearing it to nothing and over the years it will just be like holes
