Halloween parties, you know...
There are different ways to classify caves. The
wiki article on caves does a good job of describing the difference between primary and secondary caves. I've mainly been in karstic environment caves (majority of major cave sites) as well as some sea caves and glacier caves. Very cool places!
As to the different names we assign to different formations in the cave... Well, we just do that to amuse the tourists.
