Speleology

Luray Caverns is a cave system in Virginia, USA, and the animals that live there are mostly small, cave-dwelling creatures adapted to dark environments. This includes insects like beetles and spiders, as well as blind fish and salamanders. Bird species may also occasionally fly into the cave entrances.

It is difficult to determine exactly how many miles of Mammoth Cave have not been discovered as the cave system is constantly being explored and mapped. However, the known explored length of Mammoth Cave is over 400 miles, making it the longest known cave system in the world.

Stromatolites are typically found in shallow marine environments within a cave, such as near the cave entrance where light can penetrate for photosynthesis to occur. These microbial mats form layers of sediment and minerals over time, creating structures that can be observed in cave environments.

Animals which live in caves for all or much of their lives include blind fish, a type of arachnid called a harvestman, and crickets.

Animals which live in caves seasonally or temporarily, or which shelter in caves include bats, snakes, lizards, bears, mice, rats, and humans.

The ceiling of a cave is often referred to as the "roof" or "cave roof."

Scientists measure the time it takes for light to travel from the Sun to Earth using the speed of light. They know the distance between the Earth and the Sun and divide it by the speed of light to calculate the time it takes for sunlight to reach us. The speed of light is approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second).

Caves are dark because they are deep underground, away from sources of light. Light from the sun does not penetrate deep into the earth, so once you are inside a cave, there is no natural light source to illuminate it.

Skyline Caverns is about 50 miles northeast of Wytheville, VA. The drive typically takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes via I-81 N.

The Earth's atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%), with trace amounts of other gases such as argon, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. These gases play a crucial role in regulating the planet's climate and supporting life.

I'm not sure what you mean by "cristal" - try "crystal"-caves, all lower-case.

There a few caves dotted around the world that have been given the proper-noun, "Crystal Cave". A very quick internet look showed a "Crystal Caves" (pl) in Mexico, and in the singular, one in the USA and one in England. I daresay there are others, and the name presumably reflects them being rich incalcite formations.

They don't exist as a cave genera: caves are classified by the way they form but there is no "crystal cave" class.

Animals that live in sea caves include sea urchins, sea anemones, fish species like blennies and gobies, and lobsters. These animals are adapted to the dark, sheltered environment of sea caves, where they can find protection from predators and access to food sources.

No, coyotes typically do not sleep in caves. They usually rest and sleep in dens that they dig themselves, or they may find shelter under rock outcroppings, bushes, or other natural cover. Caves are not a typical sleeping spot for coyotes.

A cavern roof is the uppermost part of a cave that forms the ceiling of the underground chamber. It is typically formed by the natural processes of erosion, weathering, and water seepage over time. Cavern roofs can vary in appearance and structure depending on the type of rock or material they are composed of.

The United States, specifically NASA, was the first to land humans on the moon with the Apollo 11 mission on July 20, 1969. The crew for this historic mission included Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins.

Bioluminescent organisms, such as glowworms and certain types of fungi, can light up caves that are inaccessible to humans. These organisms emit a soft glow in the darkness, creating a beautiful natural light display in these unexplored caves.

They might shelter in cave entrances - if there are any caves in cheetah country, of course! They are not cave-dwelling animals as such.

Lightning is caused by a build-up of static electricity between raindrops. Eventually, enough builds-up, and it is discharged towards earth. Thunder is the noise caused by such a huge force, it is heard after the lightning is seen because light travels faster than sound.

The area beyond space where no matter exists is often referred to as "void" or "vacuum." It is a hypothetical concept in physics used to describe a region devoid of matter and energy. This idea helps scientists understand the boundaries of the observable universe.

Meramec Caverns in Missouri formed over millions of years through the erosive action of groundwater dissolving the limestone bedrock to create the cave system. The slow process of acidic water dissolving the soluble rock formed the caverns, stalactites, and stalagmites that visitors see today.

Energy in the core of a star is generated through nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This energy production is sustained by the extreme pressure and temperature conditions found at the core of the star, which allow fusion reactions to occur.

Ooblex is a fictional substance often found in role-playing games and fantasy worlds. It is typically described as a gooey or jelly-like material with unique properties or abilities, such as shape-shifting or the ability to absorb other materials.

It's not a straightforward question because some animals are accidentals that won't actually survive long in there, some are cave-users like bats and some species of bird that roost underground but feed outside; yet others are genuine, permanent cave-dwellers.

The last are mainly one or two species of salamander and blind fish, and a wide range of various invertebrates.

Millions of factors affect air temperature. SUch as the air density, air make-up, humidity, temperature of the ground below it, wind speed, time of year, amount of sunlight and many more.
