Why are some cave passages very humid?
Cave passages can be humid due to water seepage from the surrounding rock layers or the presence of underground streams and rivers. The lack of ventilation in caves also contributes to high humidity levels by trapping moisture in the air.
How many levels are there in crevic cave?
There are 15 floors in total in the crevice cave
What is a place where many caves are connected by passages?
A place where many caves are connected by passages is called a cave system. These systems form when multiple caves are interconnected underground due to geological processes such as erosion or the dissolution of rock by water. They can create complex and intricate networks of tunnels and chambers beneath the surface.
What features inside Mammoth Cave developed?
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.
Who discovered passages in Mammoth Cave where he was a tour guide?
Stephen Bishop was slave guide who discovered more than 20 miles of Mammoth cave.
What caused the five levels of passages to form in the Mammoth Cave?
I can't speak for Mammoth Cave as I've never visited it (nor come to that the USA!) but generally, caves form on levels controlled by the relative elevations of their sinks (absorbing water from the land-surface) and risings (springs) - the water's outlet at a lower level. Over geological time the outlet level is lowered, typically by the valley in which the spring lies being deepened by "rejuvenation" in response often to falling sea-levels. This down-cutting works its way back up-stream. If the rising is lowered, the cave's stream will erode its way down to the new level, often developing new, descending passages to do so. The original outlet may thus be left abandoned higher up the hillside, as a dry entrance. This cycle may be repeated several times, as in Mammoth Cave (and many others) to leave a distinct set of passage levels throughout the system. For a detailed description of Mammoth Cave's specific development you'd have to seek out formal reports or books on it, written by cavers who have explored, surveyed and studied it.
What are the three levels of a cave?

Is there light in Mammoth Cave?
Daylight will penetrate the entrances for short distances. The show-cave passages are fitted with artificial lighting. The rest of the cave is like any cave, so in absolute darkness broken only by cavers' lamps.
What is the length of Mammoth Cave?
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.
How did Tom discover a way out of the cave?
Tom discovered a way out of the cave by exploring different passages and eventually finding one that led to the outside. He used his knowledge of the cave's layout and followed his instincts to find the exit.
What is compoundrelict caves?
Compound relict caves are a type of cave system that has multiple levels and passages, typically formed through a combination of erosion and tectonic processes. These caves often have intricate networks of chambers and tunnels, creating complex underground environments.
