As used by speleologists, this means an underground cavity, fissure, or tube large enough for penetration by humans Speleologists exclude 'rock shelters' (qv) and most 'sea caves' (qv), by either stipulating that the cavity must penetrate further into the ground than the largest dimension of its opening, or by requiring that it should have a permanent dark zone For the layman, the term 'cave' is commonly used to include rock shelters, and also to describe a single chamber within a cave system This latter use can result in some confusion in the media, eg 'the cave was destroyed' may merely mean 'one chamber was destroyed' The term 'cave system' is sometimes used for the more complex caves, or to avoid the type of confusion mentioned above

A cave is a large hole in the side of a cliff or hill, or one that is under the ground. a cave more than 1,000 feet deep. a large natural hole in the side of a cliff or hill, or under the ground (cava, from cavus ). Naturally formed underground cavity. A cave often consists of a number of underground chambers, constituting a series of caverns. An assemblage of such caverns interconnected by smaller passageways makes up a cave system. Primary caves, such as lava tubes and coral caves, develop during the time when the host matrix is solidifying or being deposited. Secondary caves, such as marine grottoes, originate after the host matrix has been deposited or consolidated. Most caves are of the latter type, including solution caves formed by the chemical dissolution of a soluble host rock that has been weakened by fracturing and mechanical erosion; Mammoth Cave and Carlsbad Caverns are examples of solution caves.
