Why are caves important to humans?
In prehistoric times habitable caves offered shelter to people living in their vicinity.Various caves have had various uses down the centuries - the huge entrance hall of Peak Cavern in Derbyshire's Peak District (UK) once held rope-walks, and shows one today, though I don't know if it's original or a replica. The show-cave section of Wookey Hole (Somerset, SW England) has an artificial exit tunnel that both leads tourists back out to the sunshine - and other parts of the tourist site overall - and is used for curing cheeses!Active caves are conduits feeding water from the hills to springs, so sources of water (though this is also true of aquifers of course).Nowadays show-caves are tourist attractions, so contribute to their lcoal economies as well as showing non-cavers what caves are like.Generally caves are the venue for the pursuit of caving, an activity that combines physical and mental challenges with particular aesthetic attractions not found on the surface; and to the dedicated cave explorer the chance of discovering "new" caves or series - places no-one else has ever seen.This in turn supports businesses supplying equipment, publications etc, and of course cavers visiting caving areas spend money in local shops, pubs, cafes etc. In the UK at least many caving clubs own "huts" - rather more palatial than that suggests - self-catering club-houses that contribute locally through rates and often use of local suppliers of requisites like building and cleaning materials.Caves are also of considerable scientific interest and significance under the umbrella title of Speleology, covering principally geology, hydrology, biology and archaeology. At present a good deal of research is into geological evidence preserved by being in caves, of past climates, helping us to understand climate change. The formal reports are generally published in learned journals like Cave & Karst Science.
What clothing do people wear in caves?
Well they use whatever they can find such as, grass or weeds woven together or animal hydes in the winter to keep warm. It all just depends on where the cave is at and what environment it is in.
Why do we have to preserve caves with fossils?
The presence or otherwise of visible fossils should not alone be the deciding factor. Caves are geological features worthy of respect and preservation just as with nature generally. Fossils exposed in the cave walls equally deserve respect as a feature of their cave; and are exposed by chance allowing us to admire them. Beyond the aesthetics, fossils are often important stratigraphical markers, allowing correlation of rock units over wide areas, and caves are remarkably good natural archives because their interiors are not subject to normal weathering and vegetating. Of the Southern English caves with which I am most familar for example, some hold numerous fragments of crinoids and solitary corals (in Carboniferous Limestone - called I think Pennsylvanian in USA). Others in Jurassic Limestone hold sizeable ammonites, seen in partial exposure or as moulds.
What are the caves and tunnels in by the waters of Babylon?
the tunnels and caves, John is talking about the New York City subway system. One good piece of evidence for this is the "temple" that has all kinds of stars across the ceiling. A mighty temple it must have been, for the roof was painted like the sky at night with its stars — that much I could see, though the colors were faint and dim. It went down into great caves and tunnels—perhaps they kept their slaves there. The building that he is referring to is Grand Central Station. Its ceiling is decorated with stars and other celestial items. It descends a long way and leads to a plethora of train and subway tunnels.

What features of a habitat are important to the Tasmanian devil?
The Tasmanian devil needs a ready food source, and good shelter in which to hide. Therefore, it is important that the Tasmanian devil has access to tree hollows, caves, old wombat burrows or just plenty of thick understorey in which to hide. Its habitat should feature low-growing bushes and places to shelter in, or to ambush live prey.
