WIND CAVE NATIONAL PARK

What is similar between teeth cavities and cave cavities?

Lucia - Teeth cavities are caused from rotting teeth like when you have sugary soda in your mouth for a long time, but cave cavities are caused by carbonic acid, the same stuff as soda! Formations in caves are made from water carrying minerals which deposit and harden into things like popcorn looking formations!




Aimee - We learned that the cave was caused by water and how the outside of the cave was once an ocean because they found shells and other sea creature fossils.

Saira - The cave was found by two brothers. They were George and John Pickett, in 1881. They found it because they heard a noise. They called it Wind Cave National because when George looked in, the wind blew his hat away. That happened because there was high pressure on Earth, which made the cave low pressure.

Yvette - It was very interesting to learn what is in the cave, the history of the cave, and how it originated. I think it was really fun to learn about!

Working with this group of girls has been a great experience.
Thank you, ladies, for the privilege of being part of your team during this journey!
