Leaves of mature trees are almost round, 4. 8 centimeters (1.6 to 3.1 inches) in diameter with small rounded teeth, and 3.7 centimeters (1.2-2.8 in) long petioles, smooth. Young trees (including root suckers) are much higher-10-20 centimeters (3.9 to 7. 9 inches) long, almost triangular leaves.
The flowers are catkins 4.6 centimeters (1.6 to 2.4 inches) long, produced in early spring before the leaves, is dioecious, with male and female catkins on different trees. The fruit is a 10-centimeter (3.9 inches) long hanging chain 6 mm (0.24 inches) capsules, each capsule containing about ten minutes seeds soaked cotton lint, which aids wind dispersal of seeds when ripe in early summer.

A cave or cavern is quite natural large underground space for a human to enter. Some people [who?] Suggest that the term cave should only apply to natural cavities in which one party is in total darkness, however, in popular usage, the term includes smaller spaces such as rock shelters, sea caves , and caves. 

Speleology is the science of exploration and study of all aspects of the caves and the area surrounding the caves. Exploring a cave for recreation or science may be called caving, potholing, or, in Canada and the United States, spelunking (caving see). 

The formation and development of caves known as speleogenesis. The caves are formed by different geological processes. These may include a combination of chemical processes, water erosion, tectonic forces, microorganisms, pressure, atmospheric influences, and further excavation. 

Most caves are formed in limestone by dissolution.

River

A river is a natural watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing toward the ocean, a lake, a sea or river to another. In some cases, just a river flows into the soil or dry completely before reaching another body of water. small rivers can also be called by various names, including brook, stream, creek, stream, tributary and creek, there is no general rule that defines what can be called a river, although in some countries or communities in a stream can defined by their size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location, an example is "burn" in Scotland and northeast England. Sometimes a river is said to be larger than a creek, but not always so, because of the vagueness of language. 


A river is part of the hydrological cycle. Water in a river is generally collected from precipitation through surface runoff, groundwater recharge, springs, and release of water stored in natural ice and snow accumulation (eg, glaciers). Potamology is the scientific study of rivers.
