From a geological viewpoint Nam
moth cave Is comparatively recent
origin fits formation having begun
something less than 1000 600 years
ago i'm the PI0ceue age. The cave ac-
ton began after the Green river had
cut It's channel down into the lime
stone stratum which underlles this
section The rain water, with its car
bonic acid content. seeped through the
underlying earth ana passing into and
through THE gTevices and joints of the
stone. at that time above the level OF
Zhe river, began the work of solution
and erosion. These underground wa
.Jers gathered along the planes of least
resistance and as the crevices grew in
size more and more of the surface wa
ter was drained into them. and as
Green river cut its bed deeper into the
limestone uuderlav the cave waters
kept pace with the process until what
had once been mere subterranean rIls
grew into that remarkable under
ground stream known as Echo river
which now flows through the lowest
levels of the cave and empties into
Green river. During the ages it has
been al work diss0Iving the stone and
cutting its way along where resistance
was least, ever seeking lower levels. it
has left behind it the twisted, tortuous
passageways and large galleries and
chambers which form this mightiest Of
all known cayeTns. According TO ge-
ologists. it took Green river nearly
100000 years to cut away its present
bed. SO the cave is estimated to be al
most as cid II first came into prom
inence during the war Of 1912, when
the United States government needed
nitrate To make powder. Some Of the
large entrance chambers of the cave
had formed the winter habitations for
myriads Of bats for many ages. and as
a consequence the soil had become
converted into gUano beds with a large
nitrate content AS a result the cave
became a nitrate mine whence much of.
the powder supply for the young ma
tion was obtained.
