Cavern Clay

Cave

Caves and caverns are natural voids under the surface of the Earth and have also been observed in other rocky worlds. Caves often form by the weathering of rock and can extend deep underground. Exogene caves are smaller openings that extend a relatively short distance underground. Caves which extend farther underground than the opening is wide are called endogene caves.

Clay

Clay is a type of fine-grained natural soil material containing clay minerals. Most pure clay minerals are white or light-coloured, but natural clays show a variety of colours from impurities, such as a reddish or brownish colour from small amounts of iron oxide.
