Mammoth Cave National Park

You'd have to study the surveys or formal reports by the cave's explorers to establish that.

Generally cavers don't usually count the number of passages (just that, not "~ways") but do quote the total length surveyed - approaching 400miles for the Mammoth / Flint Ridge System.

Mammoth Cave is the largest cave system in all of Kentucky.

The deepest cave on the face of the earth is Krubera Cave, sometimes called Voronja Cave and is located in the Arabika Massif of the Gagrinsky Range of the Western Caucasus. It became recognized as the deepest cave in 2001 when the Ukrainian Speleological Association reached a depth of 5,610 ft., a deeper distance than the previous holder of that title, Lamprechtsofen in the Austrian Alps.

The park's 52,830 acres (21,380 ha) are located primarily in Edmonson County, Kentucky, with small areas extending eastward into Hart County and Barren County. It is centered around theGreen River, with a tributary, the Nolin River, feeding into the Green just inside the park. With over 390 miles (630 km) of passageways it is by far the world's longest known cave system, being well over twice as long as the second-longest cave system, South Dakota's Jewel Cave, which has just over 157 miles (253 km) of known passageways.

Mammoth Cave near Cave City, Kentucky, is the world's longest cave. More than 390 miles of passages have been mapped. Mammoth Cave is three times longer than its nearest competitor. Not only is the cave the longest in the world, but cave mappers believe the cave system will eventually prove to be 560 miles (900 km) long. The second longest cave in the world, Optimisticeskay Cave, in the Ukrainskaya region of the C.I.S. (former Soviet Union), is only 143 miles (230 km) long.
It is 4.6 miles long.

The world's largest cave system is located in the state of Kentucky. The name of the cave system is Mammoth's Cave. The cave system is part of the national parks.

Flatworms, isopods, amphipods, eyeless cave shrimp, cave crayfish, bristletails, collembola, booklice, eyeless fish, segmented worms, snails, copepods, spiders, phalangids, mites, pseudoscorpions, millipedes, cave crickets and cave beetles are cave-dwellers and virtually live out their life history inside Mammoth Cave. It's estimated that there are some 200 species of tiny creatures living inside the cave system. Crickets, bats, packrats, flies and gnats are cave guests and do not always remain inside the cave.

Raccoons and frogs enter the cave occasionally, and gray and fox squirrels have been known to frequent the area.

mammoth cave KY is a cave in Kentucky that is really, really, really long i mean miles long

It is between 360-365 miles long and 379 feetdeep.

Close to Montignac, in the Dordogne region of France.

On our busiest summer days, between 5,000 and 7,000 visitors come to the park. In a year, more than 2 million visitors come to the park, with nearly 500,000 of them taking a cave tour.

* Stalactites grow from the top down. * Stalagmites grow from the bottom up. * When they join you have a column. The other forms of speleothems include: * Flowstone * Dripstone * Anthodites * Helicites * Chandeliers * Straws and * Draperies Cave popcorn, snotties and cave pearls also exist and 10 mm cave pearls and larger are special finds for speleologists,

Mammoth cave began forming about 10 million years ago when an ancient sea covering the central United States disappeared and erosional forces let cracks and holes expose the limestone that was beneath the sea. Rainwater began to get underground and hallowed out the cave.

Mammoth Cave, located in Kentucky's Mammoth Cave National Park in the United States.

In Kentucky.

There's only one Grotte Lascaux - the painted cave - plus of course the artificial copy that we'd see as tourists. It's by no means the only cave in the region thoogh.

Odd question! All its features developed: the cave's passages and chambers, its speleothems, its sediment deposits. If any of the system's passages still carry streams, they are known as "active" and are still forming.

The height and width of Mammoth Cave varies depending on where you happen to be in the cave. Its explored length is about 400 miles (over 600 km), and spelunkers report that there are still many more miles to discover.

Of course the secret to that answer is very dependent on where you are at when you decide to make that journey. If for example you were in Chicago, Illinois a simple answer would be to head south for about 391 miles and you will then be very close to Mammoth Cave. The mode of transportation of course could vary and that choice would be up to the individual. Walking is a pleasant way to pass some time, but driving might be faster if you are pressed for time.

It is partly located there. The cave is so big it streches for miles.

Stalactites refers to the formations that grow downward from the top of the cave.

• Mammoth Cave is the world's longest known cave. It is longer than the world's second and third caves joined together, with about 100 miles to spare.
• Mammoth Cave has about 367 miles of explored cave passages, which equates to about 590 km.
• It is one of North America's oldest tourist attractions.
• Tours have been operating at Mammoth Cave since 1816.
• Native Americans have left behind perfectly preserved relics of their time, including slippers, cane torches and gourds. Even mummified bodies have been found, as the dry area of some parts of Mammoth cave is perfectly suited to preserving organic material.
• Native Americans were believed to have collected minerals from the cave system some 2000-4000 years ago.
• The Green and Nolin Rivers flow through the Mammoth Cave National Park.
• Fish that live in the rivers do not have eyes, because of e darkness of the cave.
• Mammoth Cave is 379 feet (118 m) deep
• There used to be a tuberculosis ward in Mammoth Cave, set up by a doctor who believed the dry air would help patients. Unfortunately, the dry air did not counter the cool temperatures or the problems of smoke from heating and cooking, and the patients died. The doctor himself died of TB a few years after the ward was closed.

The park is named after a cave that's pretty big -- so big that some consider its size to be "mammoth."
