Cave Formation

Cave, is a place full of mystery. I don't know if it is the natural creation that gives them endless magic, or humans have always liked to explore.In short, caves have always firmly attracted the curious eyes of humans. Today we will explore the magical world of karst caves and see how it is formed. 1. How are karst caves formed? Karst caves are the underground world of karst landforms, formed by the transport of water, dissolution, erosion and gravitational collapse of soluble rocks (mainly carbonate rocks). Initially, the space for water transport is the original pore space, very narrow, the water flow is mainly laminar, and the dissolution is very slow . W hen the pore space develops into a hole, the water flow is slightly faster, the dissolution is enhanced, and a narrow network of holes is formed.Later, influenced by geological factors, the water flow chooses the best path to expand to form a cave. Caves can be short, single underground spaces or network...
