Have you ever explored a cave? There are lots of passageways, cool formations, and even some creatures to see. It takes millions of years for a cave to form. Many caves are made from a soft rock called limestone. When water flows over this type of rock, it causes it to dissolve, leaving open passages and rooms. The water formations found in caves are called stalactites and stalagmites. They are made by the constant dripping of mineral-rich water. Some animals love the dark, wet environment a cave provides. These animals include bats, spiders, and bears.

Do you have a hard time tasting your food when you have a stuffy nose? The reason is behind your senses of smell and taste. They love to work together! Inside your nose are millions of hairs called cilia. These hairs work to send signals to your brain. Similarly, your tongue uses taste buds to send signals to your brain. You can only taste four different flavors, but you can smell around 10,000 different smells. The flavor of your food comes from a combination of what your tongue tastes and what your nose smells. If one of your senses is not working, you may find it hard to enjoy your meal.
