Leon Links Underwater Caves













Limestone is usually found in many of Earth's underwater caves. This happens as a result of the space that occurs in between the bedrock and the water table. This space occurs because the Limestone found in between these two layers gets dissolved by the acid water that seeps through. This acid water comes from water that has been exposed to earth's air. The Leon Links Cave located in Tallahassee, Florida is an example of these types of caves. These caves are a system of hydrological caves that contain many wildlife. One unique example is the Woodville Karst Plain crayfish. These little animals are only found in this part of Florida. Despite the beautiful wildlife these system of caves in constantly in danger of pollution and currently many geologist work to find a solution.
