Most appear to have formed in the Pleistocene, and many are still developing, but there are relics of much older ones in palaeo-karst.

Caves can form over thousands or even millions of years. They typically form when underground water dissolves and erodes soluble rocks, such as limestone or dolomite. The exact timing of cave formation can vary depending on factors such as the geology of the area, the amount of water flow, and the local climate.
