The Effects of
Weathering
by Water
By Richard Horn
With years of water running
underground this cave was
formed
The power of water
So how does this water get
underground to create
caves
Sink-holes
So why does the sink-hole form?
Years of weathering
causes rock to erode
and creates caves
Or the cave ceilings
collapse and the hole
occurs above ground
So what is the purpose of the
sink-hole
To allow water to have a direct root to the
underground water system
Although is stream is small it is
the stream that cut out the cave.
Water has caused these rocks to
break up
