The number of caves in a mountain can vary significantly. It depends on factors such as the size of the mountain, the type of rock it's composed of, and the geological history of the region. Some mountains may have thousands of caves, while others may have very few or none at all.

How many limestone caves are in the world?

Thousands and thousands!You would have to trawl through the world's caving literature to count them all. I'll leave that you - I'd rather explore caves than count them.However, intrigued by this, I carried out an approximate count of the index in my 1977 edition of the UK cavers' guide-book, Northern Caves Vol.5.It lists roughly 450 caves - and that in just part of the North of England.Mendip Underground 1987 is a similar guide to around 60 caves on the geographically compact Mendip Hills,S.W. England - there are many more caves on Mendipbut that book details onlythe caves of greater interest to the "sporting" caver.So there are 500+ caves in just 2 areas of England. Now consider all the other caves in the UK and Eire, then think of all those in France, the USA, Russia, S.E.Asia, Greece, Mexico, .....
