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.

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, .....
What are examples of organic sedimentary rock?
Examples of organic sedimentary rocks include coal, which forms from the accumulation and compaction of plant remains, and limestone, which can contain organic debris such as shells and coral. Organic sedimentary rocks are derived from the remains of living organisms.
What are Four examples of sedimentary rock are?
There are many different kinds of sedimentary rock. Four examples of this type of rock are shale, sandstone, limestone and coquina.
Many caves in the eastern US were formed with what kind of sedimentary rock that contained remains of ancient marine life?
I believe it is Bioclastic sedimentary rock--coquina although it was formed by shells of marine organisms.
What kind of rock is located near caves?
It depends on the cave. Since many caves are limestone (water carves it nicely), you usually find limestone. But granite is common in New Hampshire & Vermont.
What is the white scar caves made of?
The White Scar Caves in England are made of limestone. Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed from the remains of marine organisms, such as coral and mollusks, that have been compacted over millions of years.
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.
Why are most caves made from limestone?
Most caves are made from limestone because limestone is a sedimentary rock that is easily dissolved by water. Over time, acidic groundwater seeps into the cracks and crevices, dissolving and eroding the limestone to form cave systems. The process is known as karstification and is responsible for the creation of many limestone caves.
Why don't caves have many windows?
Caves are usually natural formations (although some are man made) which bury deep into rock. Windows are man-made objects.
