How Do Caves Form?

Caves are some of the most interesting and perplexing features on our planet. Here's how they form!

Oh yeah and I did the math wrong in comparing the size of the cave to the grand canyon, turns out I'm better at geology than I am at math, go figure. The grand canyon is actually MUCH larger.

I teach geology at a university and starting at about 2:45 you have one of the best explanations of cave formation I've seen on Youtube. I'll definitely be adding your videos to my lectures. Thank you!

I'm a cave tour guide and we give a shorter speech along the same lines. I love the way you explain it and I will definitely retouch that part of my tour. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍

Me, watching Journey to the Center of the Earth: "Pfft... how silly!"

Real, actual Earth: "Hold my water..."

4:50 "This process can actually be remarkably fast, in geologic terms... Hang Son Dong is only 3 million years old."






"Officer, I swear I didn't know she was 3 million years old"

This channel is truly a gem. I've watched some videos in the past week and it just confirmed even more what I had thought after leaving high school, how wrong I was to think "physical" geography was boring

[davidec.]
