I WONDER - What Are The Most Common Types Of Caves?

Solution caves form in limestone areas where water dissolves the rock over time. Limestone, a soft rock, breaks down easily in water, leading to the formation of cracks. These cracks gradually expand, eventually becoming large enough for human entry.

What type of geological formation is discussed in the video?

• Volcanic caves

• Solution caves

• Sea caves

• Glacial caves

Which type of rock is primarily associated with the formation of solution caves?

• Sandstone

• Granite

• Basalt

• Limestone

What characteristic of limestone makes it susceptible to forming caves?

• It is very hard

• It is resistant to water

• It breaks down easily in water

• It is formed from volcanic activity

How do small cracks in limestone contribute to cave formation?

• They allow air to enter and expand the rock

• They provide a path for water to flow and dissolve the rock

• They prevent water from entering the rock

• They trap heat and cause the rock to melt

Over time, what happens to the cracks in limestone?

• They become smaller and disappear

• They remain unchanged

• They fill with sediment and close

• They expand and become large enough for people to enter
