23
|
cave microbial community |
"Consequently, the genetic diversity of cave and karst microbial

leaders." Wilson, Solo Cave Myth 20
|
cave origin |

Jaillet, French montian karsts 21
- "It is now widely recognised that a water-table, in the
classical sense, does not generally exist in caverous limestones
having an essentially secondary permeability via fractures; local
geological features have such a strong influence on the cave patterns
that any proposed water-table relating to the main drainage channels
becomes an impossibly complex and irregular surface." Waltham,
North-West England 80

divers shape, caused either by chance or by Nature: Some are very high,
others extensive or of bottomless depth, or have many entrances."
Kempe, Kircher 62 |
super-deep cave |
"We'll return to San Augustin, put in Camp 4 and live and push awhile
where three super-deep caves come close together." Steele, Huautla 13
|
surrounding caves |
-
"Though I am not thoroughly familiar with the workings of ARSIP and
the Pierre Saint-Martin explorations, I understand that foreign groups are
able to explore the system and surrounding caves on the understanding that
their findings are turned over to ARSIP." Thompson, Editorial 8-1980,
p 3
- "The 'old' guard of the a950s CRF was interested only in Flint
Ridge and the surrounding caves." Caving International Interview
with Peter Lindsley, CIM 12-1981, p 13
|
surveyed cave |
"Atea Kananda..it is thus the longest surveyed cave outside of the
U.S.A. or Europe." Bourke, Papua New Guinea 24
|
suspended cave |
"The karst formation process has led to the creation of not only
underground rivers but also a variety of cave types including dry caves,
terraced caves, suspended caves, dendritic caves and intersecting
caves." Website "Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park" 2022
|
syngenetic cave |

Wood Valley Pit Crater along the "Great Crack", the SW-Rift
zone of the Kilaunea."
Kempe, Lava Caves 55
- "Tectonic caves are still poorly documented." Kempe,
Volcanic Rock Caves 865

creation of not only underground rivers but also a variety of cave types
including dry caves, terraced caves, suspended caves, dendritic caves and
intersecting caves." Website "Phong Nha-Ke Bang National
Park" 2022 |
tiny cave |
"A little further on, we came to a hole or
tiny cave among a pile of rocks, where there was a painted sign:
Eisgrube." Balch, Glacières 34 |
tropical cave |
-
"It is surprising that no record could be found of the Aborigines
hunting fruit bats in those tropical caves such as Tunnel Cave in West
Kimberley where these bats live in the twilight zone, for they certainly
used them on the surface as a food supply, taking them from the
trees." Jennings, Man and other animals 106
- "This is typical of tropical caves; the cave temperature here
is probably nearly 20°C." Jennings, Karst in China 13
|
true cave |
- "If you want to see "glow worms" in a cave, you
should head south of the Tennessee state line to Hazard Cave (a rock
shelter rather than a true cave) in Picket State Park: actually, they
are glowing fungus gnat larvae, but the name "glow larvae"
lacks appeal." O'Connor Olson, Colleen, Mammoth Cave Curiosities
58
- "An opening or recess in the earth which cannot be
described as a 'void' - a rock shelter of cliff-side overhang - is not a
cave, but if its darker pockets contain mineral formations typical of a
"true cave", or provide habitat for organisms which populate
caves, it may be described as a 'borderline cave.'" Crane, Cave 10
- "Out of the more than 220 "caves" (including true
caves and so-called "caves" or rock shelters, etc.) which
have been reported from Sri Lanka, I am aware of only seven or eight
caves and rock shelters that have been "surveyed" to a
degree resulting a ground plan, sections ets." Gebauer, Sri Lanka
14
|
tubular cave |
"One of the reasons for this general lack
of attention may have been the question of accessibibility but even more
so the term lava tube may have suggested 'tubular cave' of little
morphological variety and interest." Kempe, Volcanic Rock Caves 865 |
two caves |
- "There are no two caves alike."
Oldham, Discovering Caves 4
- "Until 1979, Banksula melones was known only from two caves:
McLean's Cave, which will be flooded, and McNamee's Cave, which is in
a private quarry and will be destroyed eventually." Elliott,
Damming up the Caves, p 38
|
unique cave |
"Was ist purely a spelelogical urge to own and control
a unique cave, or was it a more basic commercial urge?" "Along
with members of the British Speleologicla Association and other fledgling
caving groups we discover many miles of passages in thix complex cave,
narrowly avoid being drowned in a flood." Eyre, Cave Explorers 30 |
unchartered cave |
"In Slovenia, Nagel drew remarkably accurate plans of
unchartered caves including Postojnska jama and Socerbska jama."
Crane, Cave 27 |
unconnected caves |
"Up to 1976, however, these were two
separate unconnected caves with about seven kilometres in Friar's Hole and
about five kilometres surveyed in Snedegar's And Cruikshank caves."
Doug Medville, CIM-Interview 22 |
undecided cave |
"Gangodedeniya Galge...Brooks had not seen
the "gangodadeniya" Galge "also called Nilgala Cave"
and decided it is an undecided "cave/rock shelter formed between
boulder to create a single chamber some 5 m by 8 m in size." Gebauer,
Sri Lanka 69 |
underlying cave |
"It was certainly possible to follow quite
impressive lines of skylights and post-activity collapses over long
distances, but most collapses had filled the underlying cave and many
tubes had not drained off their late sluggish flow." Wood, Caves on
the Hawaiian Volcanoes 5 |
unexplored cave |
"For karst scientists William B. White, perhaps the
greatest contribution American cavers have made to karst hydrology is not
discovery per se, but the development and promotion in the second half of
the twentieth century, of a 'map-as-you-go' ethic for trips into
unexplored caves."
Crane, Cave 81 |
unexhumed cave |
"Since fossiliferous cave fills have been
cut across in quarries which are as old as Devonian (near Davenport,
Tasmania), and since the geomorphic histories of cave areas are now being
interpreted to imply that unfilled and unexhumed caves are as old as
Paleogene at Bungonia Caves, New South Wales, it is likely that mammal
bones will be found in much older deposits than they have so far."
Jennnings, Man and other animals in Australian caves 123 |
unfathomed cave |
"The creature I had killed, the strange beast of the
unfathomed cave was, or had at one time been, a MAN!!!" O'Connor Olson, Colleen, Mammoth Cave
Curiosities 185 |
unfilled cave |
"Since fossiliferous cave fills have been cut across in quarries
which are as old as Devonian (near Davenport, Tasmania), and since the
geomorphic histories of cave areas are now being interpreted to imply that
unfilled and unexhumed caves are as old as Paleogene at Bungonia Caves,
New South Wales, it is likely that mammal bones will be found in much
older deposits than they have so far." Jennnings, Man and other
animals in Australian caves 123
|
unfinished cave |

unfinished caves, other lesser known caves can make big bounds to the
depths." Degrave, The European Caving Scene 13-1981, 27 |

to Ramboda Pass, Sigiriya and Tantirimalai." Gebauer, Sri Lanka 15
- "Krem Umpyrta, Wahiajer...An unidentified cave calles
"Krem Umpyrta", misprinted "Krem Umpyrti", seems
to be a seasonally active stream cave." Gebauer, Lumshnong
148

uninteresting cave |
"Rawana Ella Cave...From there, it's a steep and slippery climb - it
can become treacherous after rain - up to the uninteresting cave
itself." Rogh Guide, Sri Lanka 285
|
unknown cave |

limits of a city of 1.2 million people and is accordingly heavily
visited." Jennings, Karst in China 10 |
vaporous cave |
"According to a legend, the discovery of the thermal
heritage is to be attributed to the mythological Daedalus who, fleeing
from Crete after having built the famous labyrinth, stopped near the
vaporous caves of Mount Kronio and, recognizing their curative and
therepeutic In ...use, arranged the entrance with seats carved in stone."
Garberi, Forti, USI IMPROPRI (?) 107 |
varied caves |
"I deliberately chose my sample of caves for the maximum variety and

area." Klimchou, Kubera 25
- "Victoria Aven - the finest vertical ave in Derbyshire" Proudlove,
Peak Cavern 5

experience, but so much time has passed since the previous
explorations that I tend almost to view evidence of the Maya as
natural features of the cave." Miller, Belize 16

caves." Kempe, Galapagos 151
- "Gough's Cave....This is the most visited cave in Great
Britain." Oldham, Discovering Caves 31
- "It is probably one of the most visited caves in West Virginia,
and while practically everyone who goes in goes to the Historic part,
because it is large and dry, thers is quite a bit of cave beyond a
pool of water about 800 metres in, and that's where the most recent
discoveries have been made in this cave." Doug Medville,
CIM-Interview 22

during the formation of volcanic caves and the processes that are
responsible for their formation and enlargement, much appears still to
belearned." Kempe, Galapagos 144

caves on the island, including Clamshell Cave, Goat Cave, Boat Cave,
McKinnons Cave and Cormorans Cave, the last two of which are
linked." Mills, Fingals Cave 164
- "The find is also important because it tells us that there are
still many things to be found even in well-known caves or karst areas
such as the Karst plateau." Mihevc, Bestaovca Cave 158
|
well-ventilated cave |
"A well-ventilated cave might let in fallout, and a

infrastructure for its use as an 'adventure cave', although DOC does
not currently run tours there - it is an 'open access' cave."
