How was fingals cave formed?
fingals cave is a cave formed by the same geological processes as those at the giants causeway on the other side of the Irish sea. after a volcano erupted 60 million years ago, hexagonal basalt columns formed as the cave cooled. the cave which has been formed by the sea eroding it away is easy to access. it was discovered in 1772 by sir Joseph banks and a visit to the cave by the composer Felix Mendelssohn inspired him to write his 'Hebrides overture''. popularly known as ''fingal's cave''.+++Not quite: the columns formed as the rock cooled. The cave did not exist until long after the island formed, and was then, as you say, cut by erosion. The volcanism was associated with the inception of the Atlantic Ocean.
How are roof cave and floor cave deposits similar?
They are formed by the deposit of minerals. They are left behind by evaporation.
What is a example of a sinkhole?
A large hole formed when a roof of a cave collapses.
How was Harrison's cave formed?
Harrison's Cave in Barbados was formed over thousands of years through the process of water erosion and chemical weathering. Rainwater mixed with carbon dioxide creates a weak carbonic acid that dissolves the limestone rock, creating underground cavities and passageways. As the water flows, it deposits minerals, forming the unique stalactites and stalagmites that can be seen in the cave today.
What is a cave column?
A cave column is a mineral formation found in caves where a stalactite from the ceiling and a stalagmite from the floor meet and grow together, eventually forming a column. These columns can vary in size and shape depending on the specific conditions in the cave where they form.

What type of cave is Mammoth Cave?
it is a 'karst' cave, i.e. formed by the action of water on limestone.
What are the lone-standing column-shaped rock formations called?
They are called columns. Columns are formed when a stalactite and a stalagmite are joined together.
Which are formed on the ceiling of cave?
Stalactites. You may also notice distinct erosion patterns in many cave ceilings, formed when the passage was filled with water at an earleir stage in the cave's development.
What are stalacites and stalagmites?
Stalactites are mineral formations that hang from the ceiling of caves, formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water. Stalagmites are similar mineral formations that grow upwards from the cave floor as the water drips down, eventually meeting the stalactites to form columns. Together, stalactites and stalagmites can create beautiful and intricate cave formations.
What do you call a cave entrance?
The opening is called the cave entrance or cave mouth. It is usually an "exit" formed by flowing water.
