What are caves famous for?

The fame of a cave is specific to that cave, although a region may be famous for its caves. An individual cave may be famous for past use, for years or even centuries of reputation, for incidents occurring in it or connected with it, for some particular feature or characteristic o its own, for being a major show-cave....


Where can you find crystal caves?

Did the stone age people live in caves?

Answerpeople of the stone age mostly lived in caves because they were nomadic people meaning they moved a lot. AnswerClearly some Stone Age people lived in caves, and we can show this by the presence of artifacts in the caves. On the other hand, there are very few caves in much of the world, and nomads tend not to live in caves, but in tents. So we can be pretty sure that some Stone Age people did not live in caves, also. There is a link below to an article on nomads.


What are large caves called?

CAVES - just that. The word "cavern" is occasionally applied to large chambers ("rooms" in US cavers' parlance,I think) and by their owners, to show-caves; but the normal word in all English-language caving speech and text, for any natural subterranean voidirrespective of type and size, is just, CAVE!


Which somerset gorge is famous for its limestone caves and its chesse?

Cheddar - the village, and Cheddar Gorge - the feature, holding Goughs' and Cox's Caves (show-caves). Ironically one dairy uses the exit tunnel in commercial-rival Wookey Hole, at the foot of Ebbor Gorge only a few miles from Cheddar, to mature its own Cheddar Cheese!

How have the exploration of caves influenced humans?

The exploration itself can be a mentally and physically challenging pursuit, so enriching the explorers' lives. Caves and their natural contents are very important and interesting scientifically - not only in themselves but also in prerserving evidence of past climates. Some caves hold prehistoric artwork or artefacts helping us to understand how our ancestors lived. Show-caves - which had to be discovered and explored first of course, before being modified to admit non-caver visitors - are tourist attractions bringing money and work to their localities. In short their influence has been mainly cultural but also in places, economic.
