Underground streams are formed primarily through the process of groundwater infiltration, where rainwater and surface water seep into the soil and rock layers. As this water moves through the soil, it dissolves minerals, creating channels and cavities in porous rock, such as limestone. Over time, these channels can expand and connect, forming a network of underground streams. Additionally, geological processes like erosion and tectonic activity can contribute to the shaping and development of these subterranean waterways.

What is Ephemeral Streams?
One that's formed only from mechanical weathering.
How did apache Indians get their water supply?
From rivers, streams and springs. Fresh water was plentiful in Chinook territory.
Do streams are freshwater?
Yes, streams are typically considered freshwater bodies. They are formed by the flow of water from higher elevations to lower areas, often sourced from melting snow, rain, or groundwater. While streams can vary in size and flow, they generally contain low concentrations of salts, distinguishing them from saltwater bodies like oceans.
What does igneous rock form from?
Igneous rocks are called fire rocks and are formed either underground or above ground. Underground, they are formed when the melted rock, called magma, deep within the earth becomes trapped in small pockets. As these pockets of magma cool slowly underground, the magma becomes igneous rocks.Igneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt, causing the magma to rise above the earth's surface. When magma appears above the earth, it is called lava. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground.

How are aquifers connected?
Assuming the water is moving, by underground streams.
How was Peak Cavern formed?
Peak Cavern was formed by the gradual erosion of the limestone rock by underground streams over millions of years. The dissolving of the limestone created a network of passages and chambers that make up the cave system we see today.

Where does the fresh water come from?
The earth's fresh water is naturally occurring water that is in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, icebergs, bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers and streams, and underground as groundwater in aquifers and underground streams.
