The only caves that can form dry are;

Rock-shelters eroded out by wind-blown sand.

Talus Caves: voids between landslipped boulders and their parentrock-face.

Mass-movement fissures: formed by a type of landslip.

Lava Tubes - rather stretching the point because they result from molten lava flowing out from beneath a solidified crust.

Caves formed in limestone - as most caves are - arekarst features, i.e. result from dissolution of the rock by weakly-acidic ground-water. Although such caves can subsequently lose their formative streams and so become dry, they were not formed dry and do not develop any further.

Why are some caves dry and dusty?

Caves can be dry and dusty if there is minimal water entering from the surface to create moisture. Dust in caves can accumulate over time from external sources like windblown sediment or deterioration of local rock formations within the cave. Lack of adequate ventilation can also contribute to dust build-up in caves.

How do you make dry ice in alchemy?

Dry ice cannot be made through alchemy, as it is a form of solid carbon dioxide created through a specialized industrial process of cooling and compressing carbon dioxide gas. This process involves pressurizing and cooling the gas until it forms into a solid without going through a liquid phase.


Why do caves preserve bodies?

It depends on the cave. Most inland caves where these bodies are found lack moisture. Water and moisture is a breeding ground for bacteria and micro-organisms that cause bodies to rot. These caves are also either extremely hot or extremely cold. these causes the water within the bodies to either freeze, like the Altai Lady at Ukok, near the Russian/Chinese border, or to dry out, like the Ancient Egyptian pharaohs. Others, like limestone caves, actually encase the bodies in the moisture that forms stalactites and stalagmites, and preserves the body that way.
