Summary:
"For those who have peered into an active lava tube, seeing a molten river flowing beneath their feet leaves an indelible memory. But for those seeking to know more about lava tubes, such limited glimpses result in more questions than answers. If only it were possible to enter an active tube, all would be revealed. Unfortunately, this is not an option. But it is possible to learn about the processes occurring within active lava tubes, by examining the frozen features found in cold lava caves. Understanding lava tubes and lava caves takes you inside an active lava flow. The two methods of lava tube formation are explained. The various processes responsible for changing the size and shape of a tube, are revealed. You'll learn how air shapes delicate cave features, and changes the color of the rock. You'll be amazed by the incredible diversity of formations found in lava caves, and understand how they form. And finally, you'll discover that not all lava caves, are lava tubes. Other types of lava caves do exist"--Page [4] of cover.
