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.
Caves are hollow places that often have an underground space. Caves are erosion landforms, fluvial landforms, karst landforms, and mountain and glacial landforms. Sea caves are oceanic or coastal landforms.
Inside a mountain, you can find a variety of materials such as rocks, minerals, and sometimes precious metals like gold or silver. There may also be caves, underground water sources, and in some cases magma chambers if the mountain is volcanically active.
The average temperature inside land caves is typically around 55°F (13°C). This is due to the insulation provided by the surrounding rock and the fact that caves maintain a relatively constant temperature throughout the year.
Limestone is the type of sedimentary rock that makes up many caves in the eastern US. These caves form when groundwater dissolves the limestone, creating underground voids and caverns.
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, .....
