Speleology

To arrange the boulders in Seafloor Cavern in Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, you need to push the two boulders into the holes to block the water flow. Start by pushing the boulder closest to the water source into the left hole, then push the boulder above it into the right hole. This will redirect the water flow and allow you to progress through the cavern.

Titan Cave is made of volcanic rock, specifically basalt which is a black, fine-grained volcanic rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava. It is known for its strength and durability, making it an ideal material for creating caves and tunnels.

Spherical to tear-drop shape. The latter is the most hydrodynamically efficient, forced by the falling drop's slipstream, with a spherical-cap nose tapering back to a pointed tail.

They are in limestone.

Acidic ground water (rain-water that has absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid) dissolving the limestone as it flows through the joints & other discontinuities in the rock mass.

Gypsum is similarly soluble and can form caves in the right circumstances. So is dolomite but the structural nature of dolomite deposits prevents cavern development.

Groundwater naturally contains carbonic acid, which forms when carbon dioxide dissolves in water. This carbonic acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in limestone, leading to dissolution and the formation of caverns over time.

Converting rainwater to acid rain would involve adding pollutants like sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides. This process could be done relatively easily through human activities such as burning fossil fuels or industrial processes, leading to increased acidity in the rainwater.

The largest rock in the world is actually Mount Augustus in Australia, which is often mistaken for Uluru (Ayers Rock). Mount Augustus is about 1.7 miles long and is considered the world's largest monocline.

Chemical weathering.

Rain-water is slightly acidified by absorbing atmospheric CO2. On leaching through the joints, bedding-planes and faults with the mass of limestone, this "carbonic acid" slowly dissolves the calcium carbonate that is limestone's primary constituent.

NB: This is a very basic introduction to a very much more complex and subtleinteraction of geology, hydrology and long-term climate specific to each cave's location.

Yes, crystals can grow in caves. Caves provide the ideal conditions for crystals to form, such as stable temperatures and mineral-rich solutions seeping through the rock formations. This process can lead to the gradual growth of beautiful crystal formations within the cave over time.

Volcanology is the study of volcanos. So a volcanologist is a scientist who studies them.

I've a funny feeling I answered this a while ago. Maybe it's from another questioner!

Basic kit:

^ Safety-helmet with bracket to hold a suitable lamp. These days both helmets and lamps made for caving are available. The lamps are now generally l.e.d. types.

^ Suitable footwear giving support to feet and ankles and good grip on wet or greasy surfaces. Many cavers, at least in the UK, wear Wellingtons (rubber boots).

^ Appropriate clothing.

For short trips in dry, warm caves old clothes under an overall may suffice, and cavers often wear T-shirts in tropical or sub-tropical caves.

In colder, wetter regions though we often wear a fibre-pile one-piece undersuit (over ordinary underwear, perhaps a thin shirt) with a more or less waterproof one-piece oversuit. Again these are made for purpose - the undersuit may look like it but it is not one of those naff "onesies" that are suddenly fashionable!

Where immersion in water is likely, or definite (diving aside - if you're contemplating cave-diving you won't need to ask the above question!), we wear either a wet-suit or a garment called a "Neofleece" under a PVC oversuit. "Neofleece" might a trade-name - I'm not sure. It's basically a cross between wet-suit and fibre-pile undersuit.

Right, that's the basic personal kit. I'd add a small bag or screw-top plastic container for a spare lamp or at least batteries and a bit of food such as dried fruit, of slow energy release. You might want to consider a space-blanket too, in case of emergencies. Keep it folded and sealed in its supplier's packet.

At one time we all carried wrapped around ourselves a sewn tape sling called a "waist-length", useful to provide a bit of assistance on short, awkward little limbs, etc. For some reason they've gone out of fashion but I think they are worth reconsidering.

Vertical caves, or even just single pitches (or 'drops'), demand particular equipment and methods.

For years cavers used, and often still use in many situations, lightweight wire ladders, with appropriate belaying hardware and one or another lifeline system to protect the climber. Such equipment tends to fall into the Club Tackle category rather than be an individual's own, but that's not a hard and fast rule.

When you start using vertical caving techniques by abseiling and 'prusiking' - rope-climbing, named after its Austrian inventor Karl Prusik - you need your own rig for that. It is personal kit adjusted to suit you. There are significant differences in approach between American and British / European 'Single Rope Techniques' (SRT) but either way calls for a set of ascenders, descender, harness, karabiners and a few other components.

And of course rope - of appropriate type and standard, for after all, your life literally hangs on that 9mm to 12mm diameter length of woven plastic... Some clubs operate quite strict internal rules to ensure proper use and maintenance of their stock of SRT ropes.

That summarises what you need underground for straightforward caving trips, ignoring any extras like cameras and flash-guns. You need also to consider surface conditions, especially if the cave is remote or in harsh terrain, and choose the appropriate surface clothing, equipment and food.

Finally you are best taking up caving with experienced friends, preferably but not compulsorily in a caving club.

Tar pits can range in depth from a few feet to over 100 feet deep. The depth depends on various factors such as the geology of the area and the amount of sediment accumulation over time.

butter........juicy buttery butter........yummy bacon and eggs and opps forgot the best part baby sausage weinie things! HAHA no its formed at your mamas house lol! stupid i no but just laugh.....

There are many types of different weather, for example: rain, snow, hail, cloudy and so on....

The shape of raindrops is determined by surface tension forces, air resistance, and gravity. As raindrops fall through the atmosphere, they start off spherical but can become distorted due to these factors, resulting in various shapes such as teardrops or flattened discs.

Yes, bacteria inhabiting a cave deep inside the Earth would be considered part of the biosphere. The biosphere encompasses all living organisms and their interactions with the environment, and bacteria play key roles in various ecosystems, even in extreme environments like caves.

The reaction of carbonic acid in rain and groundwater with the carbonate rock.

A stony spike hanging from the roof of a cave is a stalactite. Stalactites are formed by minerals deposited by dripping water in caves, creating the icicle-like formations that hang from the ceiling.

Ah, but you've not stated the identities of the escapees and the cave, nor why why they didnotwant to be found! :-)

Lava tubes are formed when lava flows through a hardened outer crust, creating a tunnel-like structure. As the lava continues to flow, it leaves behind an empty space that eventually forms a tube. These structures can be maintained over time if the lava continues to flow and the tube remains intact.

Caves formed from minerals dissolving and re-forming typically occur in limestone, where acidic groundwater dissolves the limestone rock to create voids. As the water carries the dissolved minerals, it can re-deposit them as stalactites, stalagmites, and other cave formations when conditions change. Over time, these processes shape the cave environment.

Caverns are formed through a process of chemical weathering and erosion of soluble rocks, such as limestone, by percolating water. Gradual dissolution of the rock over time creates underground voids that eventually expand to form caverns. Additional factors like tectonic activity and the presence of natural faults can also contribute to cavern formation.

Geologic history & formations Wyandotte Cave Visitor Center

Wyandotte caves began to form in the Pliocene Era, about 2 million years ago.[2] Like most of Southern Indiana's caves, the caves were formed when water dissolved limestone, causing hollow caves to form.

The limestone which forms much of Southern Indiana's bedrock, and from which Wyandotte and other local caves are formed, was first deposited in the Mississippian epoch (360 Ma to 325 Ma), when Indiana was covered by a shallow inland sea.

Although the glaciers of the Pliocene and Pleistocene periods did not quite reach as far south as the area now known as Crawford County, where Wyandotte and Marengo Caves are located, they dramatically influenced the development of those caves.

The Ohio River was formed at this time, and today flows only minutes from Wyandotte Caves. The advancing and retreating glaciers destroyed the pre-existing Teays River, and the Ohio River was formed, draining the land that the Teays once drained. As the glaciers melted, the icy cold water (which dissolves limestone much faster than warm water) flowing towards the Ohio River (which was then much higher than it is now) dissolved the limestone which is the bedrock for much of Southern Indiana, hollowing out caves such as Wyandotte.

The main entrance to Wyandotte Cave is 220 feet (67 m) above the level of the Blue River. Wyandotte Cave is known for its long open passageways and large rooms. With 9.2 miles (14.806 km) of passageways on five levels it is one of the longest caves in Indiana. Included in its formations is Monument Mountain. At 135 feet (41.148 m) tall, Monument Mountain is considered to be the world's largest underground mountain.[3] Wyandotte Cave is also home to a great many helictites, which are considered rare. The cave is also home to the tallest stalagmite in the world, known as the Pillar of the Constitution, but this is only visible on crawling tours.[4]

Long speleothems, formed by rainwater dissolving calcium carbonate, abound in Siberts Cave. The cave exhibits a wide variety of speleothems including; stalactites, stalagmites, columns, flowstone, flowstone colored with iron oxide known as cave bacon, flowstone known as cave draperies, soda straws, popcorn, and rimstone dams.

The temperature inside both caves maintains a constant 52 degrees Fahrenheit (about 11 degrees Celsius).

Just what the phrase implies. the error is in the instrument, such as a compass being so many degrees off, to be distinguished from Operator Error in reading or interpreting the instrument. usually applied to compasses and sometimes seismometers, the error is a design or workmanship (at the plant) flaw not an error by the observer or operator, though calibrations on some compasses are confusing,the Germans using the standard card but in (tens of degrees) hence 27 actually meant 270 Degrees- due West. 27 Degrees is a non-cardinal angle just shy of lPM to use the( Twelve o"clock analogy) that might be both observer and design error!
