- A cave (or cavern) is a naturally occurring area or space under the surface of the Earth. Caves are often a system of interconnected passageways created by the weathering of rock.
- Recreational or scientific exploration of a cave system is called caving, potholing or spelunking.
- The scientific study of caves and their surrounding environments is called Speleology and the formation and development of caves called speleogenesis.
- The maximum depth a cave system can reach underground before the pressure of overlying rocks becomes too great is estimated to be about 3,000 m (9,800 ft).
- Caves can be formed by many geological processes including chemical actions, erosion from water, tectonic and volcanic forces, microorganisms, and pressure.
A cave or cavern is a hollow place in the ground, especially natural underground space large enough for a human to enter. Caves form naturally by the weathering of rock and often extend deep underground. The word “cave” can also refer to much smaller openings such as sea caves, rock shelters, andgrottos. Speleology is the science of exploration and study of all aspects of caves and the cave environment.
