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.
