such caves are usually the former river flow underground who managed to scrape the rocks lining padded drifting like limestone, other cave again formed due to volcanic earthquake jolts sliding surface layer of rock in the Earth's crust, or by an eruption caused hot lava.


a very common type of caves in the United States was formed by way of eroded limestone layers be swept away thick, this annihilation process carried out by the flow of water that contains carbon dioxide, in Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee, where there are the foundation stones of limestone with a thick on average 175 feet, then form caves there are very big and deep.

on a number of the cave we find holes or door on the wall, this kind of hole we call with the term "hole zinc"  how it's zinc hole formed at first because the ground holds quantities of water, the water gradually speed down the land forming the large hole in the.
