Cave entrances

A cave entrance is the natural surface opening through which a cave, cavern, lava tube, sea cave, or other underground void connects with the exterior. Entrances may form through dissolution, erosion, lava drainage, fracture enlargement, or collapse depending on the surrounding geology. The mapped feature normally identifies the opening itself and should not be treated as a representation of the full underground system.
