“A wide limestone cave with stalactites and stalagmites, illuminated by a beam of sunlight entering through a natural opening.” i need it to look real This image shows key features of karst caves, which form when slightly acidic water dissolves limestone over long periods of time. The stalactites and stalagmites in the picture represent speleothems—mineral formations created when dripping water leaves behind calcite. The large opening also reflects how caves can form through erosion, rock collapse, and chemical weathering. Together, these elements highlight major geological processes involved in cave formation and growth. See more
