Caves

The video explains how caves are formed through various natural processes. Limestone caves are created by water and acid erosion, forming features like stalactites and stalagmites. Glacial caves form as meltwater carves through ice, while volcanic activity creates lava tubes. Sea caves are shaped by ocean waves, and eolian caves are formed by wind erosion in deserts. Each type of cave presents unique exploration challenges and dangers.
