Animals often live in caves. A person who lives in a cave is called a cave dweller. During prehistoric times, cave dwellers painted pictures on the cave walls. Harder - A cave is an underground hollow or passage that is formed when water runs through an area with enough force to dissolve or wear away rock. These drops form rock sculptures that look like icicles called stalactites and stalagmites.
Stalactites hang from the ceiling and stalagmites form from the ground up.
If they come together in the center, they become columns. Choose one or more of the following cave projects or activities. Try Some Cave Fun . Try some cave activities at the Kentucky Caverns Student Activities and Cave of the Winds sites. Create Your Own Cave Art .
