Do coal miners work in underground caves?
No, of course not. They work in coal mines. Caves don't develop in the Coal Measures. Some 18-19C lead-miners in places like the Peak District (English Midlands) broke into or mined from natural caves in the area's Carboniferous Limestone. They were exploiting ore-bodies that had been intercepted by later cave development. The iron-ore deposits in the Forest of Dean (England) did form within caves, but as a general rule caves and economic metallic ores do not otherwise co-exist. Oh, and the adjective "underground" is tautologous!
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.
Why do mine caves collapsed?
Mines and caves are different things. Mines are often in or below weak strata and have been excavated relatively quickly, intensifying the stress on the overlying rocks. Caves, which are natural by definition, tend to be in more competent formations, but they can collapse due to erosion. Movements on faults crossing a cave can also produce collapses in the breccia around the fault. Much of a cave formed on a fault is filled with angular boulders as the surrounding limestone was heavily fractured by the folding and faulting. As the cave developed in the usual way - dissolution of the limestone by water - these blocks simply lost lateral support and fell from the cracked walls.
Are there different types of caves?
