What do caves most commonly form in?
Caves most commonly form in limestone bedrock due to a process called karstification, where the rock is dissolved by acidic water. Other common rock types where caves can form include gypsum, salt, and lava.
What are the most common type of liquid minerals?
A mineral is substance that is formed naturally in the Earth. The most common types of mineral are Quartz and Feldspar. A mineral that is in liquid or gas form is not a mineral until it becomes a solid.
Rain is the most common form of?
Rain is the most common form of precipitation on Earth, consisting of water droplets that fall from clouds.
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.
What is the most common form of minerals?
Minerals form into crystals or clusters of crystals. In the crust, the most common individual mineral is quartz, and the most common class of minerals are the silicate minerals.
What are the different kinds of caves?
The most common types of cave are limestone caves.
What do caves most commonly form in?
Caves most commonly form in limestone bedrock due to a process called karstification, where the rock is dissolved by acidic water. Other common rock types where caves can form include gypsum, salt, and lava.
What are the common types of galaxy?
An elliptical galaxy is the most common form.
What is the most common out of the three types anthrax?

What are most caves made out of?
Most caves are made out of limestone, which is a sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate. This rock is easily dissolved by acidic water, leading to the formation of caves through a process called chemical weathering and erosion. Other types of caves can also form in volcanic or igneous rock, such as lava tubes.
Why most caves form by limestone?
Limestone is susceptible to dissolution by acidic water, which is common in most natural environments. Over time, this dissolution process carves out cavities underground, leading to the formation of caves. Additionally, limestone is a common and widespread rock type, which contributes to the prevalence of limestone caves.
What do bushrangers build shelters with?
Bushrangers did not build shelters. They needed to hide form the authorities, so their most common shelter was in caves or under cliff overhangs in mountainous countryside.
Most common form of dementia?
The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer's type dementia, there are other types such as Lewy Body and Vascular
What type of weather is needed to form caves?
Caves are typically formed through a process called chemical weathering, where water and carbon dioxide form a weak carbonic acid that dissolves limestone. This process occurs over a long period of time in moist and humid conditions. However, caves can also form in other types of rock due to variations in weathering processes.
What type of chemical weathering is most evident in the US caves?
Same as in any caves of the same types anywhere in the world, which in karst caves is dissolution of the host limestone by weakly-acidic ground-water.
What type of rock are found in caves?
It's more accurate to ask what types of rock hold caves, given that a cave is a lack of rock, as i think that's what you mean! Most caves form in limestone, so the floor, walls and roof are of limestone, as are most of the boulders on the floor. Rivers can also wash in cobbles of other rock, such as Millstone grit from above the Limestone in Carboniferous formations. Lava tubes form in low-viscosity lava flows, so are in basalt or similar low-Si rock. You can also find minor caves and rock-shelters formed in other competent rocks by fluvial or sub-aeriel weathering. E,g, sea-caves, and cavities sand-blasted into sandstone rock-faces by desert sand-storms.
