Caves in Iran
Caves are hollows that usually form when rock is dissolved by water or when ice melts. When groundwater seeps into limestone, it dissolves the rock and creates empty spaces within it; as this process continues, a cave forms. The largest and most spectacular caves have formed in limestone. Some caves are just a small hollow that only one person can enter. Others have interconnected passages and chambers.
