What are caves? v Caves are deep caverns that are hollow spaces inside a rocky mass. They are also known as deep underground chambers usually in the side of a cliff hill or mountain. Caves can reach up to further than 2000 m underground which is up to 6000 feet deep.
Types of Caves v v v There are plenty different types of caves that all have different attributes and history on how its made. Here’s a few of the types of caves Lava Caves-are formed by volcanic flows, during eruption lava will harden first but the lava inside remains molten. And will leak out by leaving a hollow tube {normally dry and easy to explore}This is a lava cave Sea Caves- Also known as littoral caves. Are formed from waves pounding against the land. Moves the material over time. {This is a sea cave}
Types of Caves v Sandstone Caves – These types of caves are relatively rare and are formed by water and wind action loosening the grains of sand carrying them away. {This is a sandstone cave}
Where are caves located? v v v Caves are located everywhere Caves can be natural or man made Caves are made by weathering rock which means they can be formed nearly everywhere
Importance of Caves v v . Caves create habitats for animals some cave animals could be bats , fish , salamanders , insects and also spiders. Most minerals are made in caves without the caves it would be much harder to acquire these minerals. Some of the minerals in caves are limestone , dolomite , marble , gypsum and salt are all mined in large quantities
What types of gases are in caves v v v There are multiple types of gases in caves which can be very dangerous here’s a few of these gases Carbon Monoxide - When this gets into your blood stream it prevents your blood cells from carrying oxygen Sulfur Dioxide – Which can cause corneal haze, breathing difficulty , eye irritation , heart failure and potentially circulatory collapse.
How gases get into caves � Dangerous levels of CO 2 get in caves by being absorbed by the water as it passes through the surface soil which could contain high concentrations of the existing gas. The water then percolates {which is when a liquid or gas gradually through a surface or substance} through the rock and then enters the cave system
THERE ARE PLENTY OF DANGEROUS GASES IN CAVES WHAT IF THEY LEAKED OUT IN LARGE AMOUNTS HOW WOULD IT AFFECT THE SOCIETY?
Inquiry Question � � The dangerous gases would leak out and affect the society, the gases in the caves could be carbon monoxide , sulfur dioxide , carbon dioxide , ammonia. Carbon monoxide would really affect the society because when the gas gets into your blood stream it will prevent your blood cells from carrying oxygen this will mean that nearly everyone will die because you need the oxygenated blood in your body The sulfur dioxide causes many harmful things some things could be eye irritation , heart failure and potentially circulatory collapse In the end if a caves gases were to leak out in large amounts the society would be impacted very heavily
The End � Thanks for listening to my power point!!!
