Event Overview

Underground passages and caves are found in rocky landscapes across the world. They are found in areas with a lot of limestone, a common type of rock. They can be created in various ways, but most caves are hollowed out of rock by water. Mayans built temples over caves or built them to look like caves because they believed that caves were the entrance to the underworld. Other ancient people also considered caves to be sacred spaces. Arthropods, fish, amphibians, and insects that have evolved to live in caves are called troglobites. We will be eating lunch while learning about all about these Underground Caves.
