What are the two parts of lift that go down in the mine called?

The two parts of a lift that go down in a mine are called cages. These cages are used to transport miners and equipment up and down the shaft.

Are there caves that go deeper than 100 miles in the crust?

No, caves do not extend deeper than 100 miles into the Earth's crust. The deepest caves known to exist are typically only several thousand feet deep. The extreme pressures and temperatures found at greater depths make it impossible for natural caves to extend that far.


Why are some caves called vertical caves?

Vertical Caves either have entrances which you must go down using a rope (instead of going in horizontally) and for safety reasons specialized equipment like a harness, rappel rack or "figure 8", (although if you absolutely had to you could go down using a body rappel technique) or most of the sections in the cave are similar in which you have to use the same equipment to go down safely. These cave entrances or sections are called pits if you are touching the wall or pretty close to it, within a couple of feet to the wall. If you are in free fall the entire distance, which is to say the cave walls are nowhere near you and the only thing you can touch is the rope and your equipment, it is called a dome cave, both of which are vertical caves as well. +++ To which I would add it's handy to be able to come back out, and most caves do not have convenient lower exits! That's done by a technique called "prusiking" - often spelt "prussiking" but the former is correct as it's from the inventor's name. This entails climbing back up the rope you rappelled down, using "ascenders" (cam devices) attached to the harness and to foot-loops, and which slide up the rope but grip it when loaded. The effect is that of a ratchet. There are various different arrangements of rope-rigging, harnesses & ascenders, and other types of [rappel] descender as well as the rack, but the principles are the same. Dr. Karl Prusik, the Austrian mountaineer who invented the method originally for rescuing oneself from crevasses, initially used a loop of cord tied in a special knot (the Prusik Knot) giving the same effect. A point on terms: I stuck to the US term "rappel" above, but it's "abseil" here in the UK, and looks German / Austrian in origin, presumably from Alpine climbing. We use the term "vertical caves / caving" but not "pit" and "domes". The vertical drop is called a "pitch" or a "shaft" irrespective of its dimensions and the caver's distance from the wall - I hadn't realised there is a distinction between "pit" and "dome" in US caving terminology. Another difference is that the Fig-8 descender is not now used in UK and European "Single Rope Techniques" - it would not work very well! We use a rack or a "bobbin" descender, which works fairly similarly to a rack.


How can caves change?

Caves can change due to processes like erosion, deposition of minerals, and tectonic forces. Water flowing through caves can dissolve rock and create new passages, while mineral deposits can form stalactites and stalagmites. Tectonic activity can also reshape caves by cracking and shifting the underlying rock.
