CARLSBAD CAVE FORMATION
How do caves form? When did Carlsbad Caverns form? What are stalactites and stalagmites? sParksAdventure answers these questions and more as we discover the secrets behind the formation of Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The caverns formed when Hydrogen Sulfide and Carbon Dioxide mixed with water below the surface - the mixture formed Sulfuric Acid which ate away at the soft rock - creating the amazing caverns at Carlsbad. Dr. Victor Polyak of the University of New Mexico helps us tell the story of Carlsbad Caverns!
