Which of these best states the thesis for Eleanor’s article about the caves and their connection to land?
Because water that forms caves runs through them into an underground reservoir, pollution in caves can endanger Virginia’s water supply.
Cave formation in Virginia and elsewhere, which involves the slow process of water eroding limestone, takes many years to accomplish.
Caves are home to many unique creatures, among them the Virginia big-eared bats that hang upside down from the roof of the cave during the day and the albino fish that live in the underground streams.
Although life above ground seems to take place in a different world, it affects Virginia’s caves, and in turn, caves affect the land above.
