Where are land caves located?
Most are in limestone uplands (as karst features). Some volcanic areas erupting basaltic lava have lava-tube caves. There are also minor caves in various rocks dotted around the world, such as fissure-caves created by mass-movement.
Which type of rocks are mainly found in caves?
More accurately I think you mean "What type of rocks hold caves?" The majority of caves are in Limestone; some in its metamorphic edition, Marble. These, "karst" caves, often also hold calcite deposits (stalactites etc) formed by precipitation of the calcium carbonate dissolved from the rock above the cave by the water oozing through its joints. There are also lava tubes in basalt lava, formed by molten rock flowing from below a solidified crust. Sea-caves and mass-movement fissures can occur in most competant rocks.
What country has the most caves?
Russia has the most caves. It has 19% of its total area covered by carbonate rocks at the surface, which are the primary constituents of caves.
Are all caves made of limestone?
No, not all caves are made of limestone. Caves can be formed in various types of rocks, including granite, sandstone, and volcanic lava flows. Limestone caves are common because limestone is soluble and can be eroded by water to create cave systems, but caves can also form in other types of rocks through different geological processes.

What types of rocks are usually present in areas with a lot of caves?
Most caves are in limestone or dolomite rocks. Some (e.g. Carlsbad Caverns) are in gypsum rocks. But caves can also exist in lava deposits (e.g. lava tube caves), marble rocks (i.e. metamorphosed limestone), and many other types of rocks at lower rates, depending on various variables.

Where are crystals found?
In rocks, mines....practically everywhere. Crystals are found all around the world. One place is in caves where they can be quite large. Geodes contain crystals and there are many types/colors of crystals. One of the most common is quartz that is often white, but there is also smoky quartz, and rose quartz. Many gem stones are a form of crystals.
Where are crystals habitat?
In rocks or in underground caves
