Q. What are caves?
A. Caves are holes (hollow places) in rocks and the earth.

Q. How do holes get in rocks and the earth?

Watris maken stoonys holowe, and the erthe is wastid litil and litil by waischynge a wey of watir; and
therfor thou schalt leese men in lijk maner. The Wycliffe Translation of the Holy Bible. Job 14:19

Water makes stones hollow, and the earth is wasted little and by little by washing away of water; and
therfor thou schalt leese men in lijk maner.

Flowing water beats upon the earth and its rocks and stones and little by little the earth and its rocks and
stones are worn away.

The waters wear the stones; thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and
thou destroyest the hope of man. The Old King James Bible. Job 14:19

The [
mayim..water, waters] waters [shachaq..beat, wear away] wear the [eben..stone, headstone, hailstone,
chalkstone, carbuncles
] stones; thou [shataph..rinse, wash away, throughly wash away] washest away the
things which [
saphiach..things which grow, spontaneous growth] grow out of the [aphar..earth, ground,
clay, mortar, dust, powder, ashes
] dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man. Job 14:19

The waters wear away stone; thou throughly wash away plants which grow out of the dust of the earth;
and thou destroyest the hope of man. Job 14:19

He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing. Job 28:10

Thou didst [
baqa..cleave, divide, tear, rend, be rent, be cleft, break into, break through, rip up, cut out, be
broken in pieces, be broken up
] cleave the earth with rivers. Habakkuk 3:9

Thou didst break into the earth, cut it out, rip it up, and break it into pieces, with rivers, streams, brooks
and floods of flowing water.

Then will I make their waters [
shaqa] deep, and cause their [nahar, rivers, stream, flood] rivers to [yalak..
flow, get away, get hence, go away, go on, run
] run like oil, saith the LORD God..Ezekiel 32:14..Water is
fluid (liquid)..Water runs (flows)..Ezekiel 32:14..Water is continually running (flowing) Psalm 58:7..Rivers,
streams and floods of flowing water break into the earth, cut it out, rip it up, break it into pieces, break it
up, and carry it away..Rivers of water continually transport and deposit tonnes and tonnes of sediments,
as they run above and beneath the earth..Psalm 46:2..Rivers of flowing sediment laden water get deeper
and deeper as they cut down into the earth and its rocks.

Flowing water wears caves and caverns in the earth, and its rocks and stones. Wycliffe Job 14:19..K.J.V.
Job 14:19..Job 28:10..Habakkuk 3:9

As water flows over ice, the ice is worn away. Job 14:19

But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
Isaiah 57:20

The heat of the sun warms the suface of the earth and its waters and causes water to gazal (break into
pieces) and the heat draws the water up into the atmosphere in the form of water vapour..The water
vapour
nua..wanders..Job 28:4..(is carried) throughout the atmosphere until it meets cold air, which causes
the vapours to freeze out of the air as ice, and or condense into clouds, and the clouds return the water to
the earth..The water then flows down
steep places (mountains and hills).

As the water flows over the surface of the earth, its cuts into and wears away earth and rock, and particles
of earth and rock are carried in the flowing water, and the water becomes more abrasive, and the water
with its particles of earth and rock, wash away vegetation and pick up more earth and rock, and the waters
wash away rocks and stones, and the water continues to cut deeper and deeper into the earth. Some of the
water seeps down into the earth and cuts paths beneath the earth, and the paths become
holes (caves and
caverns) as the flowing sediment laden water continues to cut into the earth and wear away stone.

There are caves in the earth and its rocks beneath the sea that have been formed by the action of water
flowing back to the sea from land, and also by the action of moving waters beneath the sea.

Some caves are formed in the sides of mountains and hills by the wind..Wind is continually whirling about..
Ecclesiastes 1:6..Wind picks up particles of earth and rock..1 Kings 19:11..and the wind carries the particles
of dust and rock throughout the atmosphere..Ecclesiastes 1:6..Nahum 1:3..and the dust laden winds beat
against the sides of mountains and hills and wears caves and caverns in the earth.

The sea also makes caves..The sea is salty..Genesis 14:3..The salty sea throws out dirt, rocks, pebbles,
and shells, and salt..Isaiah 57:20..and the dirt, and the rocks, and the pebbles, and the shells, and the salt,
combind with the action of the waves, form caves in the sides of cliffs, by breaking into, and wearing
away, earth and rock.

Wind and flowing water forms caves and caverns in ice.

Evaporation: Particles of salt remain within the cracks of rocks as heat and wind cause the waters of the salty sea to dry up.
