What else can I help you with?
Which of the following rocks would you most likely find in a cave?
You've not given a "following" list from which to choose! Most of the world's caves are formed in limestone.
What kind of rock would you probably find in a cave?
You would likely find sedimentary rock in caves, as it is common for caves to form in limestone, dolomite, or sandstone due to the processes of erosion and underground water flow. Igneous and metamorphic rocks are less common in caves, but can also be present in certain geological settings.
What rocks are caves made of?
Caves caused by volcanic activity are made of basalt Caves caused by dissolution due to groundwater are formed in limestone or sometimes marble. Caves also form in glacial ice due to melting. (Glacial ice can technically be considered rock.)
What is the stuff that grows on rocks in caves called?
The stuff that grows on rocks in caves is typically referred to as cave formations or speleothems. These formations can include stalactites, stalagmites, columns, draperies, and flowstones, which are created by minerals precipitating out of water dripping or flowing in the cave.
What kind of weathering created most limestone caves?
Most limestone caves are created through a process called chemical weathering, specifically carbonation. This occurs when rainwater combined with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere creates a weak acid that dissolves the calcium carbonate in the limestone bedrock, gradually forming caves over time.
What kind of living things are in caves?
Bats, rocks, water stream, bears, rats,
What types of rocks are usually present in areas with a lot of caves?
Most caves are in limestone or dolomite rocks. Some (e.g. Carlsbad Caverns) are in gypsum rocks. But caves can also exist in lava deposits (e.g. lava tube caves), marble rocks (i.e. metamorphosed limestone), and many other types of rocks at lower rates, depending on various variables.
What kind of soil do caves have?
Caves wouldn't have much soil. It would mostly be a rock floor with fallen rocks, stones, pebbles from above.
What is a kind of technology used in the stone age?
Rocks, Wood, Plates, Animals, Caves, Paints
What kind of rocks are in underwater caves Metamorphic Igneous or Sedimentary?
Not sure quite what you are asking about, but anyway it is more accurate to ask what kinds of rock hold the caves, not what rocks are in the caves. Most caves are in limestone, a sedimentary rock, irrespective of water-level. There are a few caves in igneous rock: lava-tubes in basalt-flows, but on land, not underwater. There are also a good many caves in marble, the metamorphic but still-soluble form of limestone; and again the water-level is secondary to the cave itself. A few caves exist in rock-salt, an evaporite.
Where are stalactites stalagmites and pillars most likely to form?
Within caves in carbonate rocks.
In what type of rocks do caves form?
Caves usually and mostly forms in sedimentary rocks. Example, Limestone.
What kind of rocks are ajanta caves made of?
hard basalt rock of deccan trap
What country has the most caves?
Russia has the most caves. It has 19% of its total area covered by carbonate rocks at the surface, which are the primary constituents of caves.
How is carbonic acid responsible for the for the formation of some caves?
Over time it dissolves limestone or gypsum, so most caves are in those rocks, of which limestone is by far the more widespread.
Fossils can be found in?
rocks, caves, mud
Where are crystals habitat?
In rocks or in underground caves
