CAVES AND CAVE RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND PROTECTION Flashcards
Republic act?? Caves and Cave Resources Management and Protection Act”
RA 9072
Naturally occurring void, cavity, recess or system interconnected passages beneath the surface of the earth or within a cliff or ledge.
Caves
Caves can be formed by many geological processes including :
chemical actions,
erosion from water,
tectonic and volcanic forces,
microorganisms, and
pressure.
often called limestone caves is a cave usually formed in the soluble rock limestone. It is the most frequently occurring type of cave. It can also form in other rocks, including chalk, dolomite, marble, salt beds, and gypsum.
Solution Cave or Karst Cave
any cave formed in volcanic rock, though it typically means caves formed by volcanic processes, which are more properly termed volcanic cave.
Primary Cave or Lava Cave
are openings formed between boulders piled up on mountain slopes. Most of them are very small both in length and in cross section. Some boulder piles, however, do have explorable interconnected “passages” of considerable length
Talus caves
chambers scoured by wind action. They are common in desert areas where they are formed in massive sandstone cliffs. Wind sweeping around such a cavity erodes the walls, floor, and ceiling, resulting in a bottle-shaped chamber usually of greater diameter than the entrance. These caves are rarely longer than a few tens of metres.
Eolian cave
type of cave primarily formed by the wave action of the sea. The primary process involved is erosion. Sea caves are found throughout the world, actively forming along present coastlines and as relict sea caves on former coastlines.
Sea cave or Littoral Cave
are formed as melting ice creates a flow of water within the glacier.
Glacier Cave
a shallow cave-like opening at the base of a bluff or cliff. In contrast to solutions caves (karst), which are often many miles long, these are almost always modest in size and extend
rock shelter (also Rockhouse, crepuscular cave, bluff shelter, or abri)
Caves are home or habitat for several Cave inhabiting animals such as:
bats,
salamander,
frogs,
snakes,
insects,
spiders and
even fish.
type of animal that only live within cave ecosystems, they often have some unique characteristic such as a loss of pigment coloring and no eyesight or eyeswhich developed due to the extreme darkness.
Troglobites
Recreational or scientific exploration of a cave system is called
caving, potholing or spelunking.
refers to a cave which contains materials or possesses features that have archaeological, cultural, ecological, historical or scientific value as determined by the DENR in coordination with the scientific community and the academe
Significant Cave

Strengthen cooperation and exchange of information between and among governmental authorities and people who utilize caves and cave resources .
