Are underground caves cold or hot?

The temperature in caves tends to stay the same year-round, because they’re underground and not affected by surface weather patterns. The temperature of a cave is usually close to the average annual temperature for the region where it’s located. For example, caves in Texas can be as warm as 70º F.

Can caves form anywhere?

The first zone the water passes through is called the zone of aeration. This is the area above the water table where the majority of pores or spaces within the rock are filled mostly with air. Cave forming processes may occur within any of these zones, wherever water has been flowing.
