What environmental process forms the dry caves?

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.

Are there caves on Uluru?

Yes. The sides of Uluru are literally ridden with caves, both large and small, some little more than fissures. None of the caves extend any depth into the Rock, so Uluru is not a place for spelunkers. However, many of the caves are decorated with ancient indigenous art, and various caves were allocated for specific purposes by the indigenous people when they still lived a traditional lifestyle.
