They are formed when erosion removes less resistant rocks and leaves behind parts that are more resistant

Common elevation of caves?

I take elevation to mean altitude? There isn't a common elevation as limestone (karst) caves are found from below sea-level (drowned by rising sea-levels having formed in times of lower levels) to a few thousands of metres altitude. However their main development controls are the regional geology, hydrology and long-term climate, and these tend to limit caving areas to modest elevation.


What are the different types of caves?

The main types of caves are solution caves, lava caves, sea caves, glacier caves, and talus caves. Solution caves form from the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone; lava caves are created by flowing lava; sea caves are carved by the action of waves on coastal cliffs; glacier caves form within glaciers due to melting and refreezing processes; and talus caves are formed by fallen rocks creating cave-like structures.


Are caves common on beaches?

Yes, caves are common beaches where erosion usually happens. +++ Caves don't develop "on beaches" but in cliffs backing the beach, so sea-cave development is limited by the local geology, topography and erosion rates.


What is a person called that explores sea caves?

A person who explores sea caves is typically called a cave diver or a spelunker. These individuals are trained in underwater diving techniques and often use specialized equipment to navigate through the dark and intricate passageways of sea caves.


What types of caves are there?

Fissure, Talus, Solutional, Granite, Slate, Erosional, man-made, rare emerged Sea caves, Sea caves, and Sandstone caves.Most are created over millions of years by water dissolving minerals in the rock, leaving a void or hollow behind.

Two most common types of rock in which sea caves form?

The two most common types of rock in which sea caves form are limestone and sandstone. This is because these types of rock are more susceptible to erosion by the action of waves and coastal processes, creating caves and other coastal formations over time.

The main types of caves are solution caves, lava caves, sea caves, glacier caves, and talus caves. Solution caves form from the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone; lava caves are created by flowing lava; sea caves are carved by the action of waves on coastal cliffs; glacier caves form within glaciers due to melting and refreezing processes; and talus caves are formed by fallen rocks creating cave-like structures.
