Through... what?

It's still a cave, unless so short relative to its diameter that it can be called a Rock Arch.

There are caves that pass right through hills, sometimes because the land surface has been eroded down across the passage (common in the tropical karst of SE Asia).

In places a riverhas cut a cave down below its a valley floor then popped out again somewhere down-valley, leaving the intervening part of of its valley high and dry. I can think of quite a number here in Britain.

Through-trip caves are quite common in some areas, where a system has several entrances.

In fact the water has eroded its way all the way to the rising even if the lower reaches are not humanly-enterable in size.

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.


Why are there so many caves in the limestone rock?

It is all thanks to the rock's solubitlity in water, but cave development in any give limestone region is also controlled by the specific geology, hydrology, geomorphology and continued precipitation over 10s or 100s of 1000s of years.


What is it called when you explore caves?

Caving - as simple as that. If the trip is genuine exploration, i.e. by the cave's discoverers as they find it, then we will use the word "explore", but it is used loosely as after all, if you have never previously visited the cave it is your personal exploration of it. It is NEVER called "spelunking" - that's a US-only word that was coined legitimately by a group of cavers for themselves, but later became a slang term of derision aimed at novices and dilettantes!


How is limestone formed in caves?

Limestone is formed in caves through a process called cave formation or speleogenesis. This occurs when water containing dissolved minerals, like calcium carbonate, seeps through cracks in the rock and evaporates, leaving behind deposits of limestone. Over time, these deposits can accumulate to form intricate cave structures.


Are all cave pearls round and white?

Answer No The so-called cave pearls are stalactite pearls of a brown, terracotta color. The have distinct, concentric layers over several cores and "may" develop a pearly luster similar to nacre. The pearl-like objects are not round either. They are usually more baroque in shape.
