Kentucky has many caves primarily due to its unique geological composition, particularly the presence of limestone, which is highly susceptible to erosion by water. Over thousands of years, rainwater, slightly acidic from dissolved carbon dioxide, has seeped into the ground, gradually dissolving the limestone and creating extensive cave systems. The state's topography, characterized by karst landscapes, further facilitates the formation of caves. The Mammoth Cave system, the longest cave system in the world, is a prime example of this natural phenomenon.
