So in essence, although a cavern can accurately be called a cave, all caves cannot be called caverns.

Significance of caves & caverns posters

A cave is not just a naturally occurring area under the surface of the Earth, but often also a system of interconnected passageways created by the weathering of rock. They have been used throughout human history as shelter, for burials and as religious sites. Many archaeological treasures and ancient paintings have been found in caves all around the world. Caves & caverns posters is a carefully selected array that highlights this significant natural wonder. Secret Cave, for example, exhibits just why caves are so popular when it comes to tourism. Not only is the water pristine, but also hidden away and thus a beautiful secret. The intrigue these places create is also present in caves & caverns posters, where each motif has its individual character and charm, not to mention stunning beauty.

The process of formation

Most caves form in karst, where a mix of water with a slightly acidic tinge and rain mixed with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere falls to the ground and then picks up more of the gas as it seeps into the soil. This combination is an acidic solution that dissolves calcite, the main mineral of karst rocks. As the acidic water percolates down into the Earth through cracks and fractures, it creates a network of passages like an underground plumbing system. The passages widen as more water seeps down, allowing even more water to flow through. You can witness the end product of this ancient process in caves & caverns posters. Deep Crack is just one of those magnificent sights presented in this array of natural wonders. In some ways, caves & caverns posters are representative of nature's final frontier, the subterranean universe of mazelike passages, vast chambers, cascading waterfalls and extraordinary natural sculptures just waiting to be discovered. Logically, humans have come up with spelunking, which is the recreational sport of exploring caves. You can see one of these daredevils in the fantastic motif called Diver Between Tectonic Plates.
