How Limestone Caves are Formed

Hello my name is Laszlo. We are going in this matteous cave which is under the Buda hills and I will teach you about caving. This rock is about 40 million years old. It is limestone so here used to be the sea and every animal which was in it sooner or later died so much later when the sea disappeared this stuck animal which was on the bottom of the sea gets stuck hard and became a store and as more of this was broken because of the earth's crust moving and today's parts also moving you can look up here and see some sea shells in it and more sea animals which means that this rock is 40 million years old. This rock was falling down and breaking off a long time ago from the ceiling so I would say it is not the ceiling it is just a rock in the middle.
