Where Do Caves Come From? | Let's Explore Caves! | SciShow Kids

The video explores different types of caves, including limestone, sea, glacier ice, and lava caves. It explains how natural processes like erosion and volcanic activity contribute to cave formation. Limestone caves form slowly through water erosion, while sea caves are shaped by ocean waves. Glacier ice caves form as glaciers melt, and lava caves form quickly from volcanic lava flows. The video highlights the diversity of caves and how nature can create them at varying speeds.

What is the primary natural process that leads to the formation of limestone caves?

• Melting glaciers

• Wind erosion

• Erosion by water and acid

• Volcanic eruptions

How do sea caves typically form?

• Through the melting of glaciers

• By ocean waves eroding cliffs

• By water eroding limestone

• Through volcanic activity

What is a glacier, as described in the context of glacier ice caves?

• A large river of lava

• A volcanic rock formation

• A big ice blanket over mountains

• A type of limestone formation

What natural event leads to the formation of lava caves?

• Wind erosion

• Melting of glaciers

• Volcanic eruptions

• Erosion by ocean waves

Which type of cave forms the fastest?

• Glacier ice caves

• Sea caves

• Limestone caves

• Lava caves
