• makes the rocks last longer
• expands cracks and breaks rocks
• causes rocks to fall in landslides

Natural Bridge Caverns, near San Antonio, TX is a large underground cavern that was created by what?

• Indians dug the cave out thousands of years ago and lived there until the Mexican Army captured it and used as a staging area just before going to battle at The Alamo.

• wind erosion that created a tunnel effect underground and sped the wind up to a terminal velocity and cut through the rock

• water working its way through the Earth's surface and deposited minerals from rock

• none of the above
