How Thermal Water Caves are Formed

Hello, my name is Laszlo. We are going in this Mathious Cave which is under the Buda Hill and I will teach you about caving. Beginning in the lime stone, as the earths crust moved. It was broken, so through the cracks, time and water produce all the cave. So if you're in a corridor, it used to be a crack. Maybe so small than your finger. And this way some other places became like sand stones were falling down from the ceiling. It's a good sample, because this ones a big stone. Which we in fact called Ruler, because the edge of the stone at my knee is so straight like a ruler. From here to the end, it was falling down from the ceiling. So here, you can not see the room cause like I show you up there.
