Formation
Formation
A cave is a natural opening in the Earth’s surface, specifically enormous to allow humans to enter and travel within. Described as a chambered area in a cliff. The formation occurs when rainwater filters through cracks and soil on the surface of the Earth. Absorbing carbon dioxide during this process. Ultimately it mixes together creating a weak carbon acid solution. This solution then erodes the limestone under the surface, creating passageways. Over a million years, the flooding of the rainwater mixtures, lower immensely.
