Cave

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.
